Entanglement
For Poppy’s Prompts #3
her internal compass told her to run
in any direction to get back home
but she was deeply tangled in the mesh
of their blackened, decaying spiderweb
her vanilla skin now marred with mould
rapidly dying, now haggered and old
all hail those Kings of control and of fear
as they force her to suffer year after year

I couldn’t resist using all of the suggested words! They kind of just all flowed together once I started with that first line.

Vale Perficientur
"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”

Ahh the flow of this is immaculate! It's soo well written! I've missed you and your poetry Kayleigh! How are you doing now??
This was soooo poignant! You're so brilliant to have used all those words in just a few lines!
It is difficult to break free of some webs. You captured it well. Good job on this one!
