Ha, that was funny. Once upon a time the early Disney all had the same theme, a princess needing a man to save her. All that has changed recently, and now the princess is the hero. Great work.

Wow, Halloween fair so soon? I think that may be good. Halloween is now kind of dangerous for little kiddies. It's good to do something for the little ones before Halloween. Great poem and great costumes.

    On actual Halloween they will have their class parties, but yes, this was the day of the school fair. For the first time in her life Miranda baked for a bake sale. My little girl and her little boy are both growing up. LOL Thanks so much, amahra :-) Brooke

What a sweet picture of the two children! I think you did a wonderful job as usual with the poem. It worked so well and with awesome rhyme and rhythm. Words were well chosen for this cute poem.

Awww - Darned smart, that Rapunzel would be too.

This is a good story for children, and teaches them about love and relationships in a healthy, kind way. It's a little old fashioned in its ideals, which suits me just fine.

Nice 7/6/7/6 meter in this not-so-make-believe Halloween romance.

Rose.

Yes Brook thanks to your daughter for the wonderful photo and for you coming up with the words especially this part--
is perfect

for men must all feel useful
though we, the women, know,
our power is within us -
the rescue's just for show.

This is just adorable Brooke. What a beautiful picture of the two. He looks absolutely taken by Chloe doesn't he? I love
the last two stanzas! It is a secret all real women know. LOL Good job Brooke. I enjoyed it very much. Nancy

    Thanks so much, Nancy - when they met a year ago, she was clearly the pursuer, the initiator of all touches. Now he is just as likely to lay a kiss on her cheek or to reach out to hold her hand. I've never seen anything like it. :-) Brooke

This is a poem children and their mothers would love, Brooke. I love how you gently reproach us men (boys) for thinking "might" wows and wins a woman's heart. The Speaker is shrewd in how she plays a waiting game, and then allows her suitor to think he's won. I wonder if the real Repunzel was as clever.

You are a prolific and eloquent word smith. I this this is a sentiment I've heard many times but never so eloquently put and with such economic word choice.
