The Girl Won - Once Upon a Time

The setting is a verdant wood our heroine appears;
Her crimson cape is flowing as she sings along the trail.
Eager to reach to her Grandma's house her travel is quick and intent.

Grinning maliciously the wolf awaits his prey.
Inside the house he sets the trap for Lil's Red's arrival.
Reaching Grandma's house on time she enters through the door;
Looking in the villains eyes our heroine catches on.

Why Grandma you don't look yourself, yes something is awry.
Our heroine is quick to think, she's way to young to die.
Now on his knees, face on the floor with Red's foot on his neck.  Lil' Red's a 
           Kung Fu Master, now who would have expected that!

This poem comes alive within the reader's heart as the story unfolds before them. The imagery and emotions lift you from your world and place you in a fairytale. Emile.
