RE: Old Times Were Better. A poem
It is always enjoyable to read your poems, @marylncabrera. Thank you for having posted your "Old Times Were Better".
The action figures that I used to play with, when a child, were Star Wars, Transformers, and Space LEGO. When my friends and I became older, we did re-arrange the parts of G.I. Joe action figures, and use model paint to turn them into Marvel and DC superheroes.
Then we would take them on missions that included putting them on rafts to watch them float in the ravine; if they made it all the way to the end, we would watch them sail away.
You're too kind, @lanniebrockstein ☻
What you describe, I guess, is typical of boys. The kind of relationsip between you guys and your action figures, for example, is quite different than the one we girls have with our dolls; I can't picture myself and myfriends getting together to dress up our oldfashioned dolls and get them in a lizard-drawn or cat-drawn carriage to see them go off to some royal ball. I guess we would try to control them as we roleplay (we would certainly attend the ball, our puppetish firends in our bossy hands). Usually, I guess, fathers want to see their boys manage by themselves, while mothers want company; something similar happens between men/women and their “dolls.”
(I miss your sonnets.)
Dear @marlyncabrera,
Thank you, *Smiles. I hope to make more friendships at Steemit, and to join more communities, before posting anymore of my sonnets that are songs, and which also include the literary videos that I made for them, because I do not want for them to become buried in the blockchain, as my “Trembling Streams” and “Shipwreck’d Desires” sonnets/songs/literary videos were.
From Lannie.
I understand. I remember having read somewhere that Steemit was all about "relations, relations, relations." It is a shame to feel you waste your effort because of a failure in the strategy; definitely, you must save the best for last (or until it is time).
Have you considered joining a community?
