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
