The Man In The Planet

Inspired by David Lynch's Eraserhead

Levers.

He is forever pulling the levers.

The levers that control your life.

Unknowing.

Unknowing, you are of his influence.

Dreams.

You see him there, in your dreams.

Forever pulling the levers.

The levers that control your life.

Nightmare.

He plunges you into your worst nightmare.

Noises.

Noises that grate your mind.

And shatter your senses.

Waking.

Attempting to wake from your horrible nightmare.

As the Man in the Planet.

Forever pulls the levers.

The levers that control your life.

This is interesting. Summed it all up in just a few words. A thought-provoking write!

The imagination in this is so creative.

Thanks but I'm hardly a poet haha

Where's the confidence. I could feel it in the poem.

[GrandDystopia]

Thanks again but I feel more comfortable with fiction is all.

As apposed to the man in the moon? Nice descriptive imagery. I like it! :)

Thank you friend! Nice to know that people stumble onto this old dusty tomb of a profile every once in a while haha.

[Emma Kirchhoff]

Very interestingly written! I love how certain words and phrases have been brought through the poem to begin and end it. Very cool concept aslo!

[GrandDystopia]

Thank you very much :) If you'd like me to return the favour, let me know which of your work you'd like me to read and I'll be happy to oblige.

For sure! I'll keep going through some of your work as well! Also, since my read requests have been glitching, could you read the poem "The Sick-Mess" for me?
