A Ha'Sonnet Will Do
The break-away
was quickly gone
holding at bay
the peloton
Disrupting dreams
as GC teams
must chase the pace

It’s about her
the young woman
who caused a stir
by getting in.
She thought there’d be
equality.
Poor soul. How drôle.

Ha’sonnet title inspired by the 31 August daily prompt at the Brave & Reckless blog and based on the title of a seminal feminist book ‘she must be mad’ by Charly Cox.
Added title to a ha’sonnet I had writtenlast year because the prompt immediately jumped out as a better fit than the title options I had come up with.
They scaled the wall
then charged the guard
who didn’t fall
but fought them hard
The sweep was swept
The keep was kept
Again. Till when
