ONE OF THREE
She a naked sylph
Tathered for too long
Held against her will
Althought not underground
She was buried alive
No one passing by suspected
No one knew
No one saw
The light under the door
Should have been the clue
She lived a life
Of seamless horror
One of restraints and crulty
Every somatic pain was hers
She longed for freedom
For home
It was not
Her intention to entice
If the captor
Let down his guard
She would depart
And one day
That very thing happened
After ten long years
She was free!
Thank you so much for participating =) I am so glad she had a happy ending, what a beautifully told story I could vividly picture your words!
It is a story we all know…some of the words were a little hard for me…not words I usually use. But I enjoyed the process. Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

That is the case for me when I try the wordle challenges created by others I think as poets that even though we have a pretty extensive vocabulary we have our own language our own way of combining words and phrases. For myself I spend a very long time choosing each word and to have them chosen for me is so alien. I loved making the wordle though
I love wordles, too! Thanks for giving me a head’s up. Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

I am so glad she is free. Your poem made me think of the incredible tenacity of the human spirit, to survive for so long with the dream of freedom her only hope. Also of how often we unknowingly pass by someone else’s prison.
i am glad that in time she found her freedom…for some it takes a while to get there…and we all find our own places in which we are stuck…until we are ready to find our way out…or the time is right..
Ten years is a lot of time to wait for freedom, but worth it for one who is captive.
I really like the word aren’t each word in itself is powerful.
That Is Meant To Say, Word Art. 🙂
With what’s been happening in the news lately this piece feels like it was ripped from the headlines…nicely done.
How horrible to have endured such! Glad it’s all over! Nicely annell!

very long story in a few words..the writing is excellent and I always like a happy ending even though I have a hard time writing them
A well written piece about a very distressing topic. You handled this well.
Oh, wow. I didn’t realize what you were writing about until almost 3/4 through. Very nicely done!

My thoughts echo those of Charles – I too realising at the close of the poem.
