For Rapunzel's Mother

By the law of Finders Keepers, you're rich.

But she didn't see it that way

Did she?

 

Theft she called it.

But who cares for a few plants?

What are they worth?

 

Barely anything - A mumbled apology -

Your first born?

Or your life.

 

So bye bye baby.

 

Did you hear her cry

From the tower?

She screamed as her hair was ripped

 

From the weight of that

Enchantress.

But you never knew.

 

You met a man once,

Who spoke of a girl.

He stood blinded by thorns,

 

Blinded by her foolishness.

But loved her still.

Sought her still.

 

You thought such a girl

Must be priceless.

Jewelled seraph you thought.

 

Little did you realise

Her worth was little more

Than a few rapunzel plants.
