Notes About The Poem

Cinderella

Cinderella dreamt of heights
of beauty in the city sights,
true love amongst the neon lights
away from the imagined slights
of unrequited love.

Very cool but a sad theme. I guess the way her ugly step sisters treated her could be considered abuse. Thankful for fairy god mothers

Hi, Chris! Nice to hear from you! But yeah, she had to be desperate to get out of that house. Who wouldn't be?
