Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Once

Once

"Once upon a time..." begins many a fairytale.

They have happy endings, almost without fail.

But I know "happily ever after," doesn't always come true,

Like my once upon a time fairytale, spent in loving you.

Laura Breidenthal November 7, 2015 at 6:12 PM Another excellent poem! Reality sucks sometimes doesn't it? But it can still make a great poem! That last line is very powerful. Always, Laura Lin Lane November 8, 2015 at 7:15 AM Sadly, this was a part of my life. Fairytale turned nightmare. Thank you for enjoying it.

Emile Pinet October 20, 2015 at 9:46 AM Very well done with wonderful feeling and depth. Nice flow of words with all the right stuff to lure the reader into wanting more. Emile. Lin Lane October 20, 2015 at 10:26 AM Thank you for the kind words, Emile. I wish there had been a true fairytale ending ...but then this poem wouldn't exist. I'd trade a poem for true love any day. ;)
