the manikin

the manikin

A Poem by Peter H
"

a short fun one . nothing to write home about

"
who are you ?
why did you replace the person 
who was once here ?

i can't see your face 
i only see a manikin 


white all over  immaculately  featureless 
who are you and what did you do to the person 
whom existed  before you .

Interesting write,
I like it, there are a few open ends as far as the ideas go but i like it. Not my favorite, it feels a little just thrown out there. But then again sometimes it is important for us to write these things out as well. All thoughts of my addled mind but I like this.
Sincerely

thank you for the review pax :)
You say this was not intened to be great or profound, but you've certainly created it that way. Well penned Sir.
You've said so in a way that many can interpret it.....
It can be difficult to understand the many reasons as to why we question the person infront of us. Clever write.

This is a question that I have asked before. Ambiguous behavior can cause us to wonder who the person is standing in front of us, they are not the person I once knew! Emotionless...
Good imagery. Thank you.

Poetry is to create thoughts. You did. A manikin is a lonely object. I like the question asked in the poem.

Well, Peter, it's just something I felt like reading.
And, I'm not at all sorry I did.
Fascinating piece!

i'm happy you liked it my friend .
This one leaves a lot to interpretation, but sometimes I'd rather just describe how a poem makes me feel. When you no longer recognize the man in the mirror it could be because you are on the verge of a profound change, you are now a clean slate, renouncing the former and ready to remodel. A featureless entity is featureless because you (you have the power to recreate yourself from the inside out) have yet to draw your own character. This is just where your poem took me, a very interesting piece ph20
