Fairytales and Glass

.                              
                                 Croaking toads,
                                  Shooting stars, 
                                    Snowy roads. 

                           Fairytales are so bleak
                          A magical world creeps
                            Illusions slyly speak
                           Of a world not so true
                           Just to visit in dreams
                               An utopian brew

              The world homes sharks, no fairies alas
                 And anyday gives pain more than joy
               No chocolate fountains, just plain brass
                Glass palaces shatter more than often
                 And the world is mostly brazen rocks
                      Nothing is yielded if you soften
                 Yet a short good tale at night inspires
                      It presents hope and it is untrue
                       But enjoy that, before it expires.
