Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Tribute To the Paper Bag Princess Book

Will she ever guess his name?
Will she be able to spin straw into gold?
Will she ever find her prince?
Will she ever find out she is a princess?

Will she ever get to walk the path without a wolf?
Will she ever get those cookies to grandma?
Will she ever be able to come out of the tower?
Will fairy tales ever become more like Mulan?

A college professor gave me The Paper Bag Princess
A children’s book, at my college graduation. 
Saying I reminded her of the princess in the story.
Maybe best compliment ever.

But I needed one year with her, and I got it. She is the one who talked me back into the counseling program after I dropped out at the end of year one.
