it speaks to you

you figure it out

you go to the store
you pick it out
and wind it up
you like its shape
its form
it speaks to you
it's wild and free
you take it home
you cut it up
stretch it bend it
push it pull it
crumple it up
shove it in a box
and then get mad
at it when it talks.

nope have not got a clue what it is but i'm just pleased to know i'm not alone in my madness haha, I really like this, it stretches the imagination and I love that feeling.

[Lyn Anderson]

Now, look at it with the jaundiced eye of a person who has been emotionally abused and kept isolated from family and friends.

[R Smith]

ok might sound strange but this gives me the image of the figure 8 which is like eternity, goes around and around without ever ending, at first you love the design its tantalizing but you can't control it so you try to abuse it in every way possible but in the end though you hide it away it still drives you mad when it whispers into your ear, the 8 is you

[Lyn Anderson]

Very clever

[R Smith]

Hm but not correct ?

[Lyn Anderson]

Mostly correct, yes.

[R Smith]

I won't even try to interpret this one @-@ I just enjoyed

[Lyn Anderson]

I missed this review. I don't know how. Look at it from the point of view of a person who has been told not to speak.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ha consumerism speaks. This piece is a mystery at one level but it takes the reader on a journey through the different dimensions of products and leaves us wondering

[Lyn Anderson]

I am absolutely fascinated at the myriad interpretations of this write. I love it. I think the answer would surprise you!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Only a poet knows their message at times!

A d***o perhaps but I could be mistaken...:).......................

That is the most hilarious interpretation of this poem. For once the thought did not even occur to me that this could be interpreted that way.:)

[Sami Khalil]
