A young blond beauty reading an old tale fell asleep, dreamt of being trapped in a tall tower, to find love when some dude climbed her HAIR! Awake, she muttered, “Stupid dream!” August 17, 2020 entered in the Double Tetractys Poetry Contest Sponsor: Eve Roper

that is SO cute. I was actually going to use the name Rapunzel in my own poem of this picture!! (wasn't that the princess' name?)

Yes, that was her name. I immediately thought of Rapunzel and giving her a chance to avoid that tower! Thanks so much, Andrea. Janice

Fun read, Janice. Reminds me of the Sara Bareilles song about Rapunzel where she sings "would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair". A clever take on the image, best wishes in the contest ~ John
