Read it twice and I was stirred and pondered all the hurdles some women must endure.

Irony?
What a great escape Merkie!  I love how you're always educating me on poetry, I have fun writing it but I don't know much about the different styles.  It seems ironic that you'd write a poem about escape in such a strict style, did you have ironic intentions?

Re: Merkie
The plan is still in action today. So many women are in abusive relationships or struggling on theirown. Other nations do not give women any rights at all .This is someting we all need to think about.Sad Thankyou Troosha!

A "plan" so many women have - even still today.

Ahhhh!
Poetry workshops are flashing through my head...along with terms like iambic pentameter. You make it seem effortless, and perhaps for you it is. For me, however, it's a lot of counting on fingers and forcing words to kind of rhyme when they really don't...lol. Beautifully written!
