Sleeping Beauty

That whole time
she slept

all those years
amongst overgrowth
in ivory

They pounded
on her door

    the thing that intrigues me about 'sleeping beauty' is its haiku-like quality and effect :) I like that. Thank you :)

    Such a finite, complete statement ... which opens up all sorts of unstated possibilities. :)

    I have a swag of them Rosemary! Just never know quite what to do with them, I generally open them, say hmm they're odd, and close them again :)

    Odd in an interesting way. Maybe a published collection?
