OK you left this to my imagination. Did you release her and let her go as you thought she wanted to do? Or did you commit a deeper action to release her from her bonds? Wow, my mind watches too much TV

As always, I appreciate your review Barb. This was open to many interpretations, or so it would seem from the variety of responses! I actually had in mind a dysfunctional father-daughter relationship. LOL
All good wishes, Tony
Comment from Pantygynt
What a strange little piece of free verse. It seems to be bursting with... well, is it remorse? There doesn't seem to be much of that in the original story by the appropriately named Brothers Grimm.

No, the Brothers Grimm weren't renowned for the concept of remorse! I had in mind a dysfunctional father-daughter relationship leading to a certain amount of regret on the part of the father. No doubt the witch was kicking herself, too, for not putting stronger bars on the window. All the best, Tony.

Hello Tony,
Lovely piece of General Poetry in Free Verse depicting a high flight of imagination, having enchanting flow throughout from the beginning to the end, and beautifully presenting the theme through playing with the words drenched in imagery.
Interesting Indeed!

"Rapunzel", is an extremely well-written and thought-provoking piece. It was a pleasure to read and review this talented poet's work. Not for a moment would I attempt to answer this rhetorical question. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Comment from Jacob David Collins
I felt that there was a lot of sadness in this piece. It felt as though there was a love lost here and that the person is crying out to for her to come back, even though they may have made mistakes. I thought this was really well written and I enjoyed reading it.

I Enjoyed reading this poem, it has a melancholic feel to it, and it flows well and has good imagery. Thanks for sharing this and have yourself a really great day

You muse has not left your side yet Tony so don't fret too much! A fine free write and a very different poem and there is so much to write about out there! A clever metaphor here, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was so heart-wrenching, Tony. :)), I don't think your muse princess has left you, she's just given you a bit more freedom. :)) I love how you've used them in this grown-up fairytale free-verse.
You've some lovely 'p' consonants sprinkled among these stanzas, which gives it depth and delights the lips when reading them. Well done, my friend. Have a lovely day. :)) Sandra xx

Comment from Janetsue
There is an innate sadness here--I'm thinking, if the princess is your muse, and she is AWOL, there's still hope she'll come to her senses and return energized and vivacious. There's too many of those intriguing postings flowing from her psyche that are in need of being read by eager poetic aficionados. (BTW, Tony, you really do excel at writing verse that is challenging---I just went back and changed this parenthetical from what I wrote some time after midnight when I got back out of bed because I was not able to sleep. I had trouble focusing. Sigh. It's my own fault if I have to struggle with comprehension.) I really do hope you're planning on writing an Epilogue verse. I'd love to read it! -- J

Thanks so much for this interesting review, Spangle. Much appreciated. I can see how the poem could refer to my muse. Although that wasn't actually my intention, it makes perfect sense. I had in mind a dysfunctional father-daughter relationship in teenage years. I'm puzzled and intrigued by your mention of an Epilogue verse. All good wishes, Tony

lol I'm having trouble sleeping again so Heaven only knows how this will turn out! -- In staying on track with the missing muse idea, I think your excellent first place win in the sonnet contest can serve as a great Epilogue showing everyone that your errant muse has returned in good shape and is doing well. [Maybe I should mention that I take Ambien for insomnia and when it doesn't work, it might be a good idea to just stay away from the computer.) :-)

I hope you soon recover your sleep pattern. Insomnia is a dreadful curse. Thank you for your kind words and congratulations. Tony

It makes you wonder. If the work we write is already out there. Do we just somehow find it and fill in the colors what is already drawn or is what we write an original creation? Is the pen, just a paint brush? Does the story we tell, actually belong to us or our characters?
Thought provoking free style.
