Comment from Janice Canerdy
I'm not quite sure what to make of this lovely, touching poem. It sounds like the musings of a father who PERHAPS tried to exert too much
control--out of concern for the daughter, and now they are estranged. ??

Thanks, Aaron. I appreciate your review and comments, which were spot-on. There have been several different and valid interpretations of my poem, but I intended it as an exploration of a dysfunctional father-daughter relationship. All good wishes, Tony.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
I enjoyed your interesting free verse. You expressed your thoughts/feelings well in a short amount of space. I believe you are saying that your muse (your princess) intervened as you were writing. She guided you as you were writing to make this the final poem that it is. But she is fleeting. . . until next time.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Amanda Louise Davis
I liked this poem, but it could have been about any girl. I didn't see any correlation to Repunzel with the words. It was a nice and heartfelt poem, though.

Hi Tony,
Such a lovely free verse poem. What a cute button nose princess in your artwork that reflect your message. I like your presentation. Sometimes we need to save our princesses from themselves. lol. Did Rapunzel indeed fly away? That mean old witch didn't want anyone to see her beauty, hey. Nicely done, Tony. No errors is I saw. Thanks. Happy writing:-)

Oh! You are an excellent writer. Take care.
Comment from catch22
Hi Tony, this is an interesting personification of the poem writing process. I think you need to expand this for me to really get the depth of emotions behind the sentiment. I just personally could not connect to this write--as unique as it is.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about Rapunzel the princess of your pen writing a poem. We like to protect our little princes and princesses from the harsh world around us but they will never grow up strong enough to face the reality of the cruel world.

Comment from Bill Pinder
I like this well written free verse using Rapunzel as the focus of the writer's attention. It appears that the writer is missing his princess since she left and is writing from his heart about her. Bill

Comment from phill doran
Hello again Tony
Enigmatic, provocative - and it reads as a confession, private: heart-sore. Something lost along the way.
"...the terrible consequences / of living..." a sombre but attractive turn of phrase (like the unbearable lightness...)
It is difficult to review free verse technically (at least I find it difficult) but perhaps the ambiguity of the form adds to the ambiguous nature of the content?
At 1.23 you should pick up bales of fluff, but I am sure you'll also have a receptive number who will find this thought-provoking and use it to trigger their own introspection.
I wish you well with your continued writing, Tony.
cheers

Thanks, Phill. I appreciate your review and comments. There have been several different interpretations of the poem. I intended it as an exploration of a dysfunctional father-daughter relationship but left it deliberately vague. The $1.23 was a glitch in Tom's software. I'm glad you were able to take advantage of it before it was scaled back to a more reasonable figure. I wouldn't spend that on a poem in a blind fit! All good wishes, Tony.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Nice artwork and
presentation, Tony.
-I like the opening lines
with the alliteration.
-An interesting take
on the fairy tale that
has a bit of melancholy
to go with it as you wonder
"where and why did you fly?"
