Happy endings
are all alike
touched with tendings
towards a big strike
for the good side
And bad’s denied
before their score

Smitten Book Challenge prompt at the

character is a lesbian or a woman exploring
her sexual identity, "Happy Endings Are All
Alike" by Sandra Scoppettone.

She Must Be Mad
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.
In The Eye Of
The beauty myth
says there’s a norm
encumbered with
a defined form
And yet for me
it’s what I see
with my heart’s eye

In response to the 18 August daily
prompt at the Brave & Reckless blog
