I may need to articulate this thought in another poetic form. Thank you again for your kind words. Stay safe on your end! :)

You might need to explain this one to me. Somehow I think I have missed the intent of the poem. Sometimes I’m a bit slow. ;0)

I think many times, when we are in a state of distress we may never see a solution in a difficult route and similarly, if the damsel considers this route, she may find the liberation that she seeks. I understand, with the limitations of a Haiku, the intent may not be easily discerned and I truly appreciate your kind feedback and all of your words of encouragement on my other pieces. You are one of a kind, my friend. – Ansar :)

Thank you for your kind comment, Richard. I was playing around with the idiom with this one. My intent was really, perhaps the damsel (distressed as she currently is) may consider venturing through a route (despite its circuity) to find her freedom. The ‘racetrack’ was used as there is a guarantee that there will be a finish line (for her freedom).
