Lovely poem and ode to the classic while still perhaps reflecting a current, personal crisis. It never ceases to amaze me, the lingering power of Oz.

Love Oz. Your poem seems to critique it.. like the whole thing would have been much easier has she known the proper rules of Oz or just not been so darn honest and chaste. :P

Beautiful. I love the story of Oz and still I’d never thought of it as a social allegory until now. Bravissimo!
