Snow White

Cast into the streets, marksman by her side

his hand on a gun , she flees for her life

she finds a condo on the other side of town
seven little men take her in, whom she would tend

Grumpy, tired of working long hours

Sleepy, suffers from insomnia

Bashful , attending assertiveness training

Happy , a musician full of heart

Doc , busy with patients all day

Dopey , enrolled back in school

Sneezy , suffers from allergies

Mirror, Mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all

Snow White,  pure beauty white as snow

a queen with an attitude, wanted her gone

devised a plan,  a gift tainted chocolates

Snow White's one weakness sweets, she eats

wicked  queen screamed with delight

no one messes with me, I am royalty

seven little men find their friend

call 911 paramedics on the run

Dashing doctor to her rescue

mouth to mouth resuscitation

kiss of life, Snow White breathes again

cops fast on the wicked queen's trail

seems she wanted in several states

locked her up in jail, sorry no bail

there she wailed for a plastic surgeon

Snow White married Doctor Right

with seven bridesmen at her side

vows of love, under city lights..

Author's Note : A twist of the pen on this one as I had to go outside the box for Mary's dVerse challenge.

 Happy Easter & Happy Spring!

dVerse Thursday 3/28/13

Tonight I dream, I dream for me

my  deepest  thoughts are my own

drifting out of my comfort zone

what wonders will my eyes see

challenging the veils of night

cautious  swipe of a heavy sword

will the battle reap a reward

in a distance horizon of light

fighting the throes of  freedom

exposing, deceit and poverty

my soul grieves for the unknown

visions of a peaceful kingdom

within the realm of uncertainty

I humbly bow at the golden throne

author's note: a bit of a challenge at dVerse hopefully, I pulled this together right.

She Wolf...

 

Within the mysterious eyes of the wolf

lies a woman with ties to ancient days

her spirit runs wild a roaring river

thick coat keeps her warm in a storm

She dances at the edge of ancestor's fires

dreamers of dreams, awaken with hope

visionaries in an ever changing world

shape shifters move with ease in a breeze

Within the shadows of silver moonlight

wolf woman hovers within the trees
spirit entwined with  mystic powers

beware her black eyes, for they have seen

High above the mountain walls

scent of freedom blows in the wind

eerie howls echoing through chambers

heart of the wolf pounds to a water drum

Grey skies, under a full moon she cries

where is my land, where is my home

a place wild and free to roam

wishing to never journey alone

The beat of the wolf lives on...

 Author's note: This picture spoke to me as I have a great respect for ancient cultures and I study dreams and dream works. I started writing this piece yesterday, the spirit  of the she wolf spoke to me in my dream last night. I hope you will feel her story.

Thank you for reading!
