Holding the snapped golden tether in clawed fingers of grief,
she mourns this once crown achievement.
Finding that freedom has left her as hollow as this loft,
she seeks release among the beams.

Trifecta challenged us to use tether, loft and crown plus 30 of our own words.

Rapunzel only darker?
That’s amazing! I can’t believe that came through.
For sure!
this is beautiful – she seeks release among the beams
At what price freedom? So disturbing, Jennifer!
Sometimes what we want for others isn’t what they actually need.
This is beautiful, and that last line so sad.
I understood the Rapunzel reference but that dark last line knocked me for six. Well done, Jennifer!
Dark story. Great descriptive words.
Great work
Gorgeous and dark. So much emotion and substance in so few words. Beautifully done!
Yes, that is really dark – it came through effortlessly! I loved it.
I saw darker than others. I saw her hanging from the beams by her tether.
Did you mean hanging?
I did.
That’s sad…
Holy @&*#%! That last line packs a wallop. I’m with LaTonya; I saw hanging. Sad story told with your usual beautiful touch! 🙂
That’s very kind. Thank you!
Release among the beams is a brilliant line… sad sad
Sad how sometimes the very things we cherish or which people envy us of,.,become the cause of our own grief or downfall!Excellent take on the prompt!
That’s it exactly!
:-)Glad I got it right Jennifer
Of course you did, I’m just shocked at how much of what was in my head came through.
But then you are a terrific writer-it was bound to come through-no surprises there 😀
