!!Revolution!!
She grows her hair long
Twists it into a ravishing braid
Tethers it to the wooden frame
Leaps from the tower window
Plumets toward the ground
Inches from impact snaps to a stop
Clips her locks Never looks back

Clever, Wendy! You always have such great ideas for your poems
Ravishing, tethered, plummets – what’s not to love about this poem!
Yeah. I’m just gonna get raw on this one. You fucking nailed it! Love it.
Love it! I really like the spacing in the last line, especially. It really gives that feeling of walking away without looking back.
Thumbs up!
So much yes
Taking the leap and never looking back! Bravo to that!! And your poem!
A lot said in a little space. Love the poem and what others have said.
Brava!
This is an anthem! Great surprise ending…and yet it’s not a surprise at all! Would love to know the story of the writing of this.
What a lovely escape! I’m a sucker for crafty protagonists and happy endings.
