Grimm Echoes
Bloody slipper tight,
Steps not glass but bone now crushed.
Wolf's jaw, gnashing, snaps.
No soft prince but shadows fall,
Forest deep and teeth are sharp.

False PretenseWhy do we pretend to not long for the heart of another?
Why do we let people we want to let into our world, stay on the other side of the glass?
Why do we overthink the little notes that Cupid plays when we see them?
Why do we withhold the flowers we picked for them?
Why do we...

Happily never afterMirror, mirror on the wall,
how do you choose
the fairest of them all?
why do you get to pick apart every single person
that never gave you the right?
Snow White ate less and less apples
until she became so thin a gust of wind could’ve blown her away
and she needed a strange man to save her
What if he tried...

MY BEST FRIEND, MAXINE THE FAIRY
Sunny yellow straw hats with ribbons and bows,
Butterflies that shine when the full moon glows,
Feather cushions scattered of bright pink and blue,
Buttercups and daises have such a magnificent hue,
The above are my dreams as I think of you.
Chocolates, candy and rainbow-colored gummies,
Fill us up and says no more for you to our tummies,
Kittens that...

Green Fairy
If 'music be the food of love,'
as the Avon Bard did write,
sing me a song of sixpence for my supper,
to see me through this star-crossed night.
And there'll be no need to drink to me
only with thine eyes,
as, for a happy hour or two,
a glass of euphoria I will pour for you.
A Green Fairy, guaranteed to...

Cherub - A Partially True Fairy Tale“I like it; go get it and stand it right there.”
The ‘It’ was a concrete bird bath
It was heavy as hell; about all I could bear
I struggled… my wife had a laugh
She’d seen it online; it was selling ‘as seen’
A gift bought for our feathered friends
Those birds seemed quite wary, why might that have been?
I...

Keeping Up With the BonesesLong before you were born, long before your great grandfather was born, in the time when magic was approximately eight times more plentiful than it is today, there lived a family in the remote part of a forest. There was a mother, Mrs. Slimbones, who was a witch, and there was a father, who was...

The PactIt began with a bargain on a winter night,
When the cupboards were bare
And hope sat idle in the corners.
He came with frost on his collar,
A gentleman adorned in a burgundy suit
Polished alligator shoes, crimson silk tie,
And a smile too white, too wide.
He introduced himself only as “the Tooth Fairy.”
There he stood ancient and ravenous
And far...

The Ballad of Snow WhiteA queen was spinning flax one day.
She gave her loom a jerk.
(Don’t ask what “flax” or “looms” might be,
or why a queen must work).
She pricked her finger (careful, now!)
yet Sigmund Freud would say
these children’s tales are full of smut –
there is no other way.
Three drops of blood fell in the snow
(she’s spinning flax outside?)
She thought...

Fairy ForestJourney through forest of evergreen ecstasy
Love is sensual seed planting you planting me
Emerald hugs enchanting
Hearts that sing fly and denim dream
Floating with fuchsia fairy wings
Eyes that wink blink purple please
Fulfilling needs creating fantasies
As breeze from lips to hips curvy and free
Blowing mind trees
Thoughts fall like leaves
Creating a carpet of...

Nature between usHow shall it be?
A music that nature sings, to create our special moments.
Raindrops that brings us under a umbrella on a rainy street,
Thunder that falls to synchronise our heartbeats,
Blowing air that flows along your silky hair,
Or the falling rays adoring you as a sunshine girl,
And a thread that connects us in every universe,
To every of...

Autumn FaerieOctober brought in pumpkins, but also Priscila, autumn faerie.
Adorned in tangerines, oranges, yellows, her mood bright and airy.
She did not make herself known to the humans in the house.
But she was spotted instantly by a cat, pig and field mouse.
How often do you come here? Asked the curious cat.
Every October, stated the mouse, who was...
