You slide the needle clear throug the balloon without popping it and smile grandly at your accomplishment as everyone cheers and claps my eyes linger on the red balloon pierced clear through silent at your mercy and somehow I just can't applaud To capture and live a moment is truly living |

DreamKeeper~ Sometimes I'm not always sure I interpret correctly ... So then I let it sit and come back to it. I'm pondering this one. I'll be back.  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I thought this was great. Sometimes people get praised for something they shouldn't even get attention for. I liked this one a lot.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

Dreamkeeper, I agree, some slight of hand should not be applauded, but I ponder your compassion for the red ballon. Interesting, thoughtful poem. Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has passed Playful shadows dance Dennis L. White :^) |

dreamkeeper this is an interesting one...i interpret it as someone who has succeeded by stepping on others(hence the piercing) and while the victims my not show it openly, they are hurting deep inside.... hmmmm...not sure if this interpretation is right(will love to hear your thoughts) but i liked the way you made me think a bit within these few lines of course now that i read this a second time, i realise that this poem can be read literally also |

DreamKeeper~ Hmmmm ! I've visited this off and on through the day and have concluded that to me it seems to represent the heart being pierced by cupid's arrow. But ... how do I explain the applause ? Oh, the mysteries of being a poet ! By now I'm wishing the darned balloon would just POP ! Oh, wait ... it might just do that when the needle is pulled OUT ! Tell me ! The suspense is killing me ! !  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had trouble understanding this! It does make me think of a heart though. Maybe the magician is just a heartbreaker? Sure would like to know! To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

I think I must have been terribly obscure in this poem! *grins* I think what the poem represented was someone having complete control over someone or something, and being so proud of themselves for it. How often we don't really see things for what they are......Kaile was right on the mark. Someone being hurt deeply but not showing it openly....... Hmmmmmm, perhaps I should work on a rewrite! Sorry for the confusion!!!! To capture and live a moment is truly living |

No i thought it was good the way you made everyone think Sometimes you have to let go and move on, But never let go of the memories. |

dreamkeeper, rewrite if you must but heh, one of the coolest things about poetry is how people see the same poem differently, right? |
