We are made of
fury
innocence
strength and tears
hawking spit
of laughter
fear and bravery
clutched in
knuckles
of both hands
saccharine
cyanide
claws and teeth
lacy bras
high heels
laddered stockings
top buttons
done up
tight and
so much more
than sugar
and spice

Bravo Jo.

This is wonderful. So much truth in here it hurts. 

i love that it starts with fury, and this bit too

top buttons
done up
tight

and all the rest. Saying I relate is an understatement, haha!
A brilliant take on the challenge.

Sugar and spice and all things nice. Kisses sweeter than wi-i-ine... (The Hollies)
Oh no! She's going to win again!
(Sorry, Jo. Bad reaction on my part there.
But you can't win because you're the one who set this challenge, aren't you?)

Oh, you're not. It's Oonah, isn't it?
(Stop the tape! Stop the tape!)

God! Spit it out, girl laugh Not arf!!!
That's visceral, Jo. You actually keep it to a set 4 line break throughout without setting the breaks and that takes a bit of doing
and hit us with 'spice' on the very last word.
Yet the spice of what girls are is all through there with the

lacy bras
high heels
laddered stockings

top buttons
done up
tight and
so much more

Can't fault a word of it.
