Constance Steckel Poems

You are also that fairy-tale princess
locked up in a crumbling tower
at the heart of a darkening wood.
...

Your wit is attack and deflection
The shiny shield held up before you
shows a sullen unwilling Medusa
A moment ago just a woman

The Best Poem Of Constance Steckel

Sleeping Beauty

You are also that fairy-tale princess
locked up in a crumbling tower
at the heart of a darkening wood.

I cannot cut though all these brambles.
You did say you want to be rescued?
Perhaps I have misunderstood.
