A Grumpy Rapunzel



My hair is pure gold,
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!

  1. Dear Amalia
    She doesn't look that grumpy and she can get out of the tower (with some help from you!) More very cute characters and I like the woodland backdrop too.
    Best wishes

  11. Lovely doll and poem. Looks like she's a modern day Rapunzel - she didn't need a prince to rescue her at all! xx

  13. Ah, Rapunzel, the best story ever! Every little girl is fascinated by her long golden hair, and you have made her so beautifully. I love the tower too, with its climbing roses on the wall. Cheers to the cute bunny and bird in the woods. Your creativity is wonderful, I love it all. xx

  20. Your poems are so charming! You should write a children's book with your poems and your stitched creations!

  21. Your little Rapunzel doll is as clever as you...she managed to escape the tower. 😊

  23. Your poem is so precious, sweet, and cute highlighting certain aspects of this fairy tale (your take is a modern view of what Rapunzel would do, instead of waiting for someone to rescue her, haha) Thank you for sharing your creation with All Seasons! Have an inspiring week, Jesh

  24. I hope he turns up soon! And please tell Rapunzel, if it's an consolation, it takes me 2 hours to dry my hair ;-)

  26. She is lovely. I enjoyed your poem my dear friend.
    Love, Carla

  27. I absolutely love your sewn creations and poems, but this post knocked it out of the park! I so identify with Rapunzel, it does take two hours for me to wash and dry my hair, then blow dry and straighten. And sadly for me, with the Covid and restrictions, my blonde hair has grown into a sad brown shade. Egad!

    Hopefully soon we will be back to normal and I hope Rapunzel stays beautiful!

  43. As a kid I always thought Rapunzel had such a raw deal, and can you even imagine how painful it would be to have someone climb up your hair!
