Response-3: Hansel's Game, Hoshi


Let down your long hair



I grew up in a tower
My room was hoisted at the top
The doors sealed by perfectly aligned bricks

I tried to go outside once,
But ended up with a broken neck
A Seventy feet drop, luckily it was just the neck

Mother shook her head
‘What a foolish child she said’
So she cast a spell on my hair, and long it grew

Now I cannot move
My tresses chains me to this tower
But I am not bored, as birds bring me gossip

The latest news is about
The witch of the western forest
They said she is kept in a box ice box

A pity, as she and mother
Got along quite well,
And her cookies were delicious,
Pity I never got the recipe.
