Cinderella Swept Away

source

 Cinderella thought she
found her prince at long last
believing in love at first
sight she was swept-away
by his promises of love 

but it was all an illusion
his sparkling eyes
his radiant smile
dashingly handsome
she couldn't resist his allure

it was all deceiving
the magic spell faded
she found herself alone
sweeping up the ashes
of yesterday 

no longer a believer
shattering the glass slippers
of a once upon a time
fairy-tale

written for What's Going On

The idea was to choose an old fairy tale and re-write it to make it your own. 

Thank you for reading...best I can do on an extremely hot day...
stay cool if you are in the current heat wave
