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.

I Lost Power

Alarm rings
I hit the snooze
Again it sings
Eh, what’s to lose
Hit it again
What! Now it’s when?
Call in, give spin

A Time To Reap

The grass is deep
when I look out
Making me weep
to think about
what I must do
to fix this view
Proposed blinds closed
