No friends
As a princess
Only he.
Circus cub
Fierce tiger
Protector of she.
Tag: Micro poem
Belle
A clock irate,
A teacup chipped,
The candelabra, he connives.
The beast, he fought,
But so did they,
The stuff that came alive.
Ariel
Little red crab,
With a musical voice.
Fretful but never unkind.
Sent by order,
Stayed for love,
In the world that ate his kind.
Aurora
Fell in love,
Warned thereof.
Refused to be convinced.
Fairies three,
Took care of she,
The force behind her prince.
Cinderella
Dress made.
Then torn apart.
Replaced by one as ice.
A key hidden.
A staircase climbed.
Her saviours were the mice.
Fine
“Hello, how do you do?”
It’s a question we ask every day.
As rehearsed, we answer: “Fine.”
It’s what we have been taught to say.
Lioness
She was most often like a rabbit,
Scared and shivering in fear.
Until her kit was threatened before her,
And a lioness would appear.
Constellation
They’re only dots in the sky,
We’ve turned into constellations.
They’ve become beautiful stories,
Through our vast imagination.
Haiku: Roles
It’s quite amazing.
How many people you are.
Dad, son, brother, love.
Strangers
Sometimes it’s among strangers.
People we’ll never again see.
That we are ourselves.
As true as can be.
