My humble thanks to Balladeer Sir for coming up such a interesting challenge in the Poetry Workshop.

This world is a stage,
Age is just another phase,
Ways and roles we play,
Clay puppets we are in plays.

Someone is a great Dad,
Sad someone is an orphan son,
One is a caring mother,
Other is friend like none.

Strings tied to our soul,
Role and goal set for us,
Thus, we play our part,
Depart when he wants us.

Prasad,

This is wonderful and I am very impressed.  I have been struggling with this challenge forever (or so it feels like).

Congratulations on a job well done.

I am impressed too, dear Prasad. This is fine work! I went to see Balladeer's instructions to know what it was all about, even though I noticed the unusual rhyming at the end and at the beginning of the lines.

Excellent!

Love,
Margherita
