marionettes.
Who is controlling them?
The hand of fate? I hear the clouds
smirking.

I love syllabic verse. It's all very down-to-earth in an up-in-the-air sort of way until the synaesthesia at the end.
ReplyDeleteDouble fun-not only are the clouds in on the joke, but you can HEAR them smirking. Neat and concise.
ReplyDeleteI really like this. The form is perfect for the image prompt.
ReplyDeleteI was not expecting the smirking. I would have never thought of marionettes, love that imagery.
