About This Poem

RED

An apple red as blood
Hear you go dear 
Take it with cheer 
It's sweet as sweet can be 

If only you would runaway 
Or something like that
My mirror just won't let me be
As I look into it, it keeps reminding me 

Alas, I'm not the fairest of them all  
That makes my blood boil as I walk past 

My husband says, Oh my beauty she is a child
I say, yes, she is a coming of age child 
And she is your child at that 
There can only be one queen of this manor 

I will send my huntsman to retrieve her heart
Then maybe this thorn in my side will subside
She will be gone once and for all from my site

Or maybe the huntsman will be her prince charming
And they will ride off together, never to be seen again

So here my child take this apple and eat
This blood red apple is calling to you 
And be on your way for good this day
I should never want to see you again

    Vanity--it seems can lead to some incredible adventures. Mirror mirror on the wall / who's insanest of them all? / Nasty, mean, from Islam / said the glass 'tis Saddam. / Appalled Bush bawled, "Bastard you'll fall." So--you chose to write about something quite important. Your sense of direction must be really good. Certainly appreciated here. I am impressed. Also, you have good taste in actresses!

    Why thank you sir ;} " vanity" one of the seven deadly sins, or so the bible reads ;} Nicole Kidman is another favorite, you have a blessed day. And thank you for reading my words !

    Yes! "Now! Take a bite!" This is one of my favorite images - that old hag witch encouraging Snow White. Enjoyed your poem's presenting the other side of the coin. LOve, daver

    Now that I have read your poem, I will have to check out that flick. I liked Charlize in "That Thing You Do". She only played a small part in that film. Despite a few typos present, this is a good write.

    Thank you Robert for reading ,,,, can you tell me where the typo's are,,, I shall fix them ;}

    a fairy tale from a different perspective indeed! Thanks for your comment on Blood on the Ballot. Whether or not there are many homeless children in the world is no excuse to kill the innocent ones coming into it. There are other alternatives to the barbaric scenario the world chooses today. perhaps some day we as a people will become civilized. One can only hope. Thanks again, Debbie.I liked your take on the fairy tale.

    you know, i, the talking snake, gave the same temptation to adam and eve....can ya dig it? i enjoyed reading this through blue eyes....PHREEPOETREE ~free cee!~ and charleze in MONSTER was great but the real talent was the make-up person who took beauty and made it look ferocous...and in DEVIL'S ADVOCATE she was beyond great...as is this poem...yours until chicken little's premonition comes true PHREEPOETREE ~free cee!~

    Debbie, i love that movie...I'm a sucker when it comes to fairy-tales tales... especially twisted ones... And Charlize, is one of my top actresses... I give her two thumbs up on the wicked queen role. You know after watching her in the Movie "MONSTER" I knew she would rock the evil crude acting in her performance. I was happy to see it when the movie first came out.. love your poem,, very vivid... xox~pd

    Duncan Avatar Debbie Duncan Date: 9/29/2012 1:19:00 PM Block poet from commenting on your poetry

    Hey Poet ~ Destroyer, I love those kinds of movies. Charlize is awesome. You should watch the movie : Sweet November with Charlize & Keanu Reeves if you haven't ;} thank you for liking it ;} xo xo's ;}

    What a brilliant write you have written here Debbie! I really enjoyed this poem, very charming! I have watched some of the show 'once upon a time', which involved snow white and the evil queen, but never have I seen the movie 'snow white & the huntsman'! But please, let me know if it's a good movie...I haven't seen anything on this movie! Anyway, this is a wonderful poem, Great Work!!

    Thank you Russell,,,, I love the show "once upon a time,,, and Grimm,,,,have you seen it? I know you would like it too ;},, I have not seen the huntsman either. I will buy the DVD, or my daughter will,,, I love the theme song to that movie. you can watch the trailer on utube, thank you for reading my words ;}
