my heart true and good;
it's a disgrace that I'm locked
in a tower, in the wood.
I'm stuck in this place,
just me and the plait;
if a prince is coming
he is late for our date.
I've tried being patient
but it's too much to bear -
it takes me two hours
just to wash all that hair!
♡
Featured: a small sampler made
from scraps of felt sewed together and embroidered

Love the poem.

Amalia, do you write all these poems yourself? They are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYes, I write them all. It is one of my favorite parts of blogging. And thanks!
DeleteYour poems always me me smile - I remember when my hair was very long (in my teens) that it took about 8 hours to dry! But I love the line of a " heart true and good" Many thanks Amalia for sharing this with SEASONS - and hope to see you back next week!
ReplyDeleteAlso, your comments of the last week are very much appreciated! By the way I love this little "slak" you made (am drawing a blank for the English word now, lol) Have a great weekend!

A brilliant idea, dear Gracie, snails to the rescue!
DeleteSO DARLING, as always, Amalia! A true rhythmic poet are you and your handiwork a delight. Have a fantastic day! Anita
ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable sampler - I would never have though of trying that.
ReplyDeleteSee, I always figured Rapunzel would have preferred her short hair in the end ... ;-)
Yes! She is a modern girl at heart!
DeleteAdorable, grumpy Rapunzel! Lovely stitching as always. xo ♥
ReplyDeleteHa! Love it! She'd have to wash it in a big lake, which would be impossible locked in a tower.
ReplyDeleteSo true! And then there are the swans, but that's a whole other story :-)
DeleteCute project!
ReplyDeleteToo cute, my friend :) Your words always bring a smile to my face. Enjoy the upcoming weekend. Love and hugs!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this! I want to enlarge this and put it on a quilt!

A darling, sensible poem about our beloved Rapunzel. How long WOULD it take to wash all that hair? Is it wool felt that you stitched? I've had fun embroidering with felted wool. (Which reminds me, I need to finish my wool butterflies project.) Love the smiling snail.
ReplyDeleteSo cute. xoxo Su
ReplyDeleteI love your poems and your work !
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute poem, Amalia, and I never thought of embroidering felt, very creative. It turned out nice. Rupunzel's long blonde hair is lovely, isn't it? I wish I saw long hair on women more often.
