Jennifer Proxenos Poet Limerick

The Kiss of a Prince

THIS POEM IS DEDICATED TO CAREN KRUTSINGER’S CHALLENGE TO WRITE ANOTHER PRINCESS
POEM IN HER COMMENT TO MY POEM FROM SOOT TO RICHES.


THE KISS OF A PRINCE

Snow Whites evil stepmother thought she was fairest of all
Her mirror said dearest Queen , as she faced the wall,
Your beautiful dark haired daughter is,
You are second by far, accept this,
The queen planned to poison the princess, so she’d fall!

Snow White afraid ran away far into the woods,
In her hands she held no clothing or goods,
She made friends with seven short men,
Called dwarfs, who loved her, but when
Off to work warned her, strangers lurked in the woods.

A knock on the window, hello said an old hag,
Please taste this apple I have in my bag. 
Snow White innocently took a bite,
She fell, poisoned, the dwarfs cried,
Along a path one day a Prince did zig zag!

Snow White in a glass coffin she lay,
The Prince stopped what a beauty, he did say,
He bent to kiss her, she chocked,
She awoke, the prince was shocked,
Proposed to her, married, and in the palace they stay!

Carolyn Devonshire February 10, 2019 at 4:04 PM An adorable reflection on the fairy tale, Jennifer! Reading with a smile, I felt like a child again enjoying each line. Forgive me for not getting back to you sooner. Judging contests is quite time consuming. So delighted to see this poem! Hugs, Carolyn Jennifer Proxenos February 10, 2019 at 11:53 PM Hi Carolyn, I'm terrible with contests - i don't check what's going, but will make a point of checking in the future . I'm sure you had your hands full i can just imagine. In one of your comments I read you are writing a novel, I'm sure it will be a best seller! Caren has challenged to write more princess poems so there will probably be a few still on the way. I felt like a child writing them thank you for an delightful comment! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Caren Krutsinger February 10, 2019 at 12:15 PM I love it that you could take a suggestion and create this wonderful poem in a very short amount of time. I expect to see a little book of fairy tale poems from you my friend, and soon! My favorite part was: "A knock on the window, hello said an old hag, Please taste this apple I have in my bag. Snow White innocently took a bite, She fell, poisoned, the dwarfs cried, Along a path one day a Prince did zig zag!" Jennifer Proxenos February 10, 2019 at 12:54 PM Hi Caren, Thank-you for an awesome comment - Snow White is one of my favorite fairy tales and as for the film, I absolutely loved it. Another one coming your way soon. You will be the first to know if I write a short book with fairy tale poems. God Bless Caren, Poetry hugs - Jennifer.
