Notes About The Poem

horrors of fairytales poem for preteens

Princess Misled

Princess Misled:


Kissed a bunch of frogs
They were still frogs in the end.
Kissed toads, until warts grew
Why is what you're looking for
Always in the last place you look
I asked myself.?

I needed my Prince
Oh how I needed my hero.
Ready to give up, I drank
Potions from the last cauldron.
About to call it a life.

My Fairy Godmother 
Was a Witch.....
I Was under her spell 
Still I searched once 
Again to no avail.

One last kiss did I perform
To my surprise this last frog 
Transformed; When the 
Prince saw me, with warts 
On my skin: Mission 
Completed as this now my end.

The moral of the story is as clear
As can be, Mono or herpes is not
Worth the risk.
The toads that you kiss...
May not be so charming;Fairy Tale
Metaphors, may prove be alarming.

Real Princesses, go home
When they leave the ball,,
The Prince was not very happy, not 
Happy at all: He ran away screaming...
"Ladies and Princesses should never kiss frogs "

Hi Vicki. This is a very strong and creative poem and a good cautionary tale. There are so many types of frogs out there and the risks are great. I enjoyed this one, my friend.... Robert.
