Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill
we tell our kids this story all day long
but Jill was bitter and she was savvy
and she went to her lawyer with a sad song.
The lawyer filed in the court
and Jack got the report
That Jill was after his crown.

Christina Bowring Date: 2/14/2024 4:01:00 AM This is a great read Miranda with the adult version and a reminder that life is not always a fairytale! Very well written and creative. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. Look forward to more :) Login to Reply Miranda Hawley Date: 2/18/2024 3:44:00 PM Adult version because if you stop to think about it, most if not all the children's stories are down right dark.

Bill Baker Date: 2/7/2024 5:54:00 PM I enjoyed your imagination, Miranda, very fun read. You are very creative indeed. Have a pleasant evening, my friend. Bill Login to Reply Miranda Hawley Date: 2/7/2024 6:43:00 PM I'm really glad you like what my imagination comes up with. I might do an ending on another nursery rhyme.

Sotto Poet Date: 2/5/2024 10:52:00 AM Your poem explores the aftermath of the classic nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill" and re-imagines the story from a different perspective. The subject matter revolves around themes of betrayal, legal action, and the consequences of actions. Login to Reply Miranda Hawley Date: 2/5/2024 11:46:00 AM You understood my point exactly.
