Twisted Labyrinth
A response to Randy Baker’s Poetry prompt and an Inverse poem for Vocal’s Challenge.
A slave to your twisted labyrinth
I don’t believe that I am
Worthy of the best
I whisper to the cascade mirror
What a shock this is going to be
The velvet lies you’ve screamed before
You tell me I am ugly
What you serenade in letters
I do not believe
You are wrong
As ethereal as you want me to be
An chained enigma, perhaps
I am not your perfect Labyrinth Angel

Worthy of the best
I don’t believe that I am
A slave to your twisted labyrinth

Fantastic!!! Loved it!!♥️♥️💕
I dream of travelling to many more countries, love your poetry and the free spirit of positivity. Happy travels.
Whoaaaa, you executed this soooo brilliantly! It works so well both ways!
Oh, wow, you knocked out two challenges with one stone! Excellent work!
Perfect response to both challenges. This is truly amazing. Well done.
Outstanding! "Labyrinth" was the one word I didn't use in my response to Randy's challenge. Good for you getting it in the title, as well the beginning and the end, perfect for a labyrinth.
Oh bravo, Chloe! Love that you used Randy's prompt and concocted an entry for the Inverse challenge too. Both versions are very powerful, especially the reverse! Great work, loved it!
