Beauty, sleeping (Free verse) by Ranger

Hers was not an apple But Icarus in a jetplane Wanting to fly out of bed To break the glass of the tower Then transform into a phoenix I attempted to rescue her But the thorns got her first Scratched her eyes No matter how much I cried She still couldn't see me She longed for a Prince To spin her a ladder of gold Climb past her mother Swing through the window But this Captain, riding his stallion Had a kingdom to manage So I left her to stamp and hurl lettuces And fairies They cast a spell at me I dodged and she slept for a hundred years I wept in the woods There the wolf wept too, for his grandma was dead He huffed And puffed And blew the princess away What a big heart you have

Oh! Call me clueless...sheesh...okay...this IS the 'other one' the previous one, and the other is more recent. To be honest, I like the (this) more condensed version...or at least the attempt to condense it, shown here.
God'swife had good advice for you, back then...hold onto it, and reread as time moves on. Rythm and flow are still things you work on. I can see from your other stuff that you are finding your expression, your voice, and your language just fine! I see alot of growth, in how you express yourself now.
