I was not expecting this from you Woody.
I love when you surprise me with something different.
It shows just how talented and versatile you are.

Life is not fair. I think we both know this from experience, but it's life and so we rise to the challenge regardless of the plate we're holding. xx

Woody,
Yes this is a riveting review of how people can become entangled and find that they have been deceived. Are we a toy for another? this can happen in any relationship. You are free to write in different styles how can you not. Creativity just does that. Life is just serious sometimes. "Hunger rife," for some reason this caught my attention. people can be hungry in so very many ways and not always find the right food for said hunger and onward goes the search...............cool poem................kathy

Birth is fate. Choices after, make life, turning right back to fate.

Made me think. Thank you.

I think her account stayed open. she passed away not long ago.

Her words live on.
Very different to what you usually write, but I enjoyed it. :)
Who knew sixteen words could mean so much?

For the Used Toy I thought of a little doll with all the memories of her with her owner playing together, but now she sits under the bed alone
