Best Hansel Poems

I want to make a joke about it, tell you that
your body has become a shelter for broken hearts, a
sanctuary for atheist gypsies,
you are a whole new definition of home.

Your body has become a shelter for broken hears, a 
hiding place of a deserted alley...

The old lady planted roses near the corner by the driveway
She never planted roses by the door
I remember once she told me, "Bees come out to get the nectar"
And a bee sting can be deadly or quite sore
Instead, she planted herbs along the walkway to...

And the last time that they tried to meddle
With a crafty old witch
That they couldn’t ditch
She cooked them up in a fine kettle...

Am eating some my wife made right now
so thought that I would write this poem.

Hansel and Peanut Brittle

We heard that when Hansel was little;
He always liked eating peanut brittle;
With petal to metal,
He ran over Gretel;
While around he would like to fiddle.

Here's the story of Hansel and Gretel
But, again, not like they said
Their's was way too humdrum
So, here's my version, instead

First, their father wasn't a woodcutter
He worked at the laundromat
He took quarters from the scrub boards
To make change and things like that

Hansel and Gretel weren't children
They...

You can be a turtle, a deer, a buffalo, a dog, frog or a sphynx,
But you never know true love until you have fallen for a lynx.
I have a pair of them, and they adore me upside down and inside out.
They give me joy and...

Grethel thought she might have to protect her brother
From her psychotic father and her abusive grandmother
Where oh where had disappeared their lovely mother?
Who used to protect Grethel and Hansel, her brother?

She suggested they leave in the middle of the night.
They waited until well after midnight...

The cupboards were bare.
The stepmother said,
“There’s not enough.
Leave them instead.”

Into the woods
with crusts of bread,
they were left to starve
or end up dead.

The world was cruel,
the fire cold.
But children learn
to grow up bold.

The witch was hunger
in disguise.
They saw the truth
behind her eyes.

They lit the fire.
They found...

Lily was a gorgeous maiden with an unusual hair color.
Men gave her more attention than she deserved.
Plenty of plain women were ready to turn her in.
Calling her witch, declaring she had cast a spell on them.

Some of the more jealous ones twitched violently.
Calling upon the...

The siblings were barefooted, so walking was painful.
Gretel was tiring of this adventure when she saw a light.
I hope it is a castle, she suggested. Hansel squeezed her hand.
Maybe it is a spaceship that will whisk us off to a bakery.

They laughed at their silliness.
At...

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...

And Mina rose up after Hansel's kiss 
His kiss for her was a heaven's bliss 
And Gretel found her forever 
In Edward's arms, no stormy weather 
And they all lived happily ever after
Hunting witches from here to there...

If I were Hansel, you would be my Gretel. If I were Jaime, you would be my Cersei. If I were your brother, you would be my beloved sister. “You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one...

These days I often find myself
lying on my pristine rock, hard bed 
thinking about why the world would 
ever care about someone like me. 
I wonder how my thoughts ever drifted
this far. Maybe social media?
Or my own self-conceit, brimming with 
forbidden passions even van Gogh...
