I once was a legend, a celebrity, in my own way.
Everyone wanted their photo taken with me.
Well, why wouldn’t they I was young and cute and smiley?
Exactly what the world would want to see.
Then complacency took over.
I was the norm, plain and boring just like all the others around town.
No-one took a picture with me. No-one even stopped to stare.
I just wanted to feel connected to the world once again.
So, I hatched a plan. It took a little help, but it was what I wanted.
I decided I would become as famous as Venus de Milo.
The only difference is she doesn’t have arms. Easy enough to fix right?
Well…
I might have misjudged the situation. Now people just think I’m broken!
Where is a stonemason when you need one?

This is very well done 🙂 really enjoyed this.
Thank you very much Angie😊. Glad you enjoyed it. KL ❤
LOL! This statue is suppose to look broken but isn’t broken but then he decided it was broken after all! Haha! Cute story!
Thanks Priceless Joy! 🙂 He just wanted to be admired a little while longer. KL ❤
Great story!
Haha. I love this poem. The statue wanted to be more popular, so she had her arms broken like the Venus. Cute and funny. I agree, she just looks broken.
Thank you Mandi. 🙂 Something a little light-hearted – poor statue. KL ❤
Oh, maybe the people at Louvre would take the statue! Haha. I love the humor in this! 😀
Thanks Maria! 😀 I wouldn’t like to think what it would be willing to break off for Louvre fame – haha. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. KL ❤
poor little soul just wanted people to love him so he went and damaged himself….lovely story about wanting to be loved.
Thank you Singledust! 🙂 Envy can lead you to do very strange things. Glad he wants to be put back together again though. KL<3
Ha, ha. Love that. There’s a lesson in it for all of us.
Thanks for the lovely comment, Jenny. Yup, desiring what someone else has, doesn’t often pay off (well it didn’t for this poor little statue). KL ❤
This has tremendous voice and a touch of humor. A delightful read
Glad folks are having fun prompted by my photo.
Great take on the prompt.
Thank you very much. It certainly is a very intriguing photo, thanks for sharing it for the prompt. KL ❤
