Poetic Observations-Gretel and Hansel

Finding solace in a fairy tale Gretel wanted to go into the real world not to fail When her home life gets the axe She gets her brother Hansel and pack Out into the dark woods they venture Looking for something to sink their teeth into in surroundings dependent on dentures Traveling the wooden path Filled with ugly wrath They come upon a house That had a warm feeling like one wanting to bake a mouse Being fed with information about life From someone who lost the person who called her his wife It was an act of killing him self Due to their daughter who was dealing with mental health An author put it in a story that seemed ever so gory Gretel had it read While Hansel went to bed Back inside the warm cozy feel The two decided to enjoy the old ladies’ meal Deciding to stay The two came up with a plan to pay Work Gretel must without any fuss But as days became weeks The food made them with very large cheeks When the two drop their guard They started to wonder what was underneath the yard Gretel started the thought did they get caught Were they in a trap due to the simple point they needed a nap? Due to the flashy light the message in the film gets lost making the experience for the teen not worth the cost Gretel and Hansel should know after viewing the show It could have been a nice artistic deal If it just stayed for real
