A fairytale or not, Short story poem
Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Fire Bird

8th place in the contest

The evil stepmother, hostile attitude Spiders feed their children with their own blood She hated her stepdaughter, who was lovely and caring Love does not flow through breast milk or blood Dreams were shattered The prince was getting married, everyone was invited Stepdaughter was put to work, poor thing We all remember how this ended - the sweetness of a budding love A fairy with a magic wand a prom dress and glass shoes ... "swish"

It is a well done write. Fairy tales can come true in a limited way. I'm thinking about how I have a wonderful relationship with my wife, although my family was totally unaccepting of her in my life. This is a fairy tale, but we make it ourselves by being kind, determined, and honest with ourselves.

Anne, it was verified on many occasions that affection does not travel via the mother's milk or bloodstream. Yet it arises from a conscious choice to love without limits. Your creative gift is so remarkable.
