Rapunzel: I like the Quietby Jeannine Hall Gailey |

Solitude my solace, wrapped around me like layers of golden hair. Stacks of books and I can sing as loud as I please all day and night. In sleep I kick and snore, during the day, delight in eating nothing but radishes and lime leaf tea. Who says I need a partner to dance? Here in this tower I am mistress of all; the reindeer, the knight’s armor teetering in the corner, various discarded disguises, crowns, crumbs and bones. Will you rescue me? What kingdom will replace my bounty of leisure, what tether of care and nurture do you wish to rope my neck with? | |
