The Lady with the Braids in Her Hair

Inspiration is a cool thing.

Forever’s spent alone

     In crying

            Shadows

Dark crying shadows

Filled with fear

    Pain

         Rage

Hate and love are dying

She doesn't remember

                Your face

It hurts,

                  Screaming,

      It hurts!

Your forever’s spent

                         Alone

With a fire-breathing

        Dragon

INTRODUCTION

The structure of "The Lady with the Braids in Her Hair" c a p t i v a t e d my attention. Its zig zag format forces the reader to absorb the emotions.

CONTENT

The image of a dragon is what appealed to me the most. The writer appears to be isolated in their mind; an unlawful prison. Reflecting on the title, I have imagined the narrator to be a young girl; she is entrapped by the past. She is a sensitive soul with much to say. She lets her emotions converge into a feral image of a fiery dragon; this is her release.

Beautiful work, Wild Willow. I see much beauty in your words.

I like your structure just as much as I love how much emotion and power you were able to inject into this poem. It practically oozes anger and sadness, and that makes it all the more powerful, especially since so few words are uttered. Great job! Keep up the good work!
