Fairytales Poems - Poems about Fairytales

Happily never after
Mirror, 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...

Dirt Driveways
Dirt Driveways Who knew that dirt driveways lead to happy homes? That Prince Charming’s white horse is really a black BMW. That our kingdom would consist of his, mine, and ours. Who knew that fairytale castles came in split-level houses with cathedral ceilings? That the beauty in the house comes from the twists and turns in the architecture. That...

Premium Member thinking about Fractured Fairytales
trapped in skeletal arms of the wolverine forest, I crave rose-scents from the corpse crescent, seeing through the portal of pained pupils, written with cinder-gold between lethal lines of nostalgic nightfall, about sunsets woven in angst, from stone-cold tears s u p p r e s s e d within crawling clouds before onyx rain… and must I scribble sonnets...

Fairytales and Razorblades
Fairytales and Razorblades Sitting here alone in my book Waiting for the words to give back what they took All of them just lying across the page So nonchalant yet full of rage Time is broken and when the pencil snaps This becomes the beginning of the end And then The story is over and it all fizzles and fades Never to be remembered And...

Rumpel Still's kin are a strange lot With names not easily forgot But he was kept asleep By his cousin, the creep Moonshine Still was the guilty sot Rumpel had walked deep in the wood Where Moon was with bros in the hood Distilling white lightning The scene was frightning They drugged Rumpel more than they should Moon left him leaning 'gainst a tree Rump's whereabouts,...

Truth of Fairytales
Fairytales, oh fairytales, A world of magic that never fails. Where dreams come true and love prevails, And happy endings leave trails. From Cinderella to Snow White, The stories fill our hearts with delight. Of brave young heroes and knights in sight, And enchanted forests with secrets so tight. There's always a villain that we despise, With a wicked heart and cunning...

The Lie From Fairytales
The sleeping beauty surrounded by lackluster roses- She receives rest I never shall, Whilst I work my hand and mind to bone and broth. The star-crossed lovers staring down from the heavens- Blissful and gay in each others presence, And I in my own tragedy of loneliness. The maiden with strands of gold intertwined in scalp- Majestically long, which attracted princes from...

The Emperor of Our Fairytales
The Emperor hath donned a gewgaw crown, bedazzled are the throng. He rides an electric horse. Strides through the pitiless cities of lost or last hopes. His faceless glance not even a mask, but a cold premonition an iron mind behind bolt-shut eyes. The crowds back away, bow and know they are now subjects, not even slaves, only subjects to be used and disposed of at the ballot box....

Premium Member The Past Grows Dreamy
Inside our minds time often flows backward, To rich sparkling treasures we left behind, But the memories become somewhat blurred, In a landscape where purple mists purblind. There we find old gold, because time is kind To the woman in the shoe with children, Fading slow with Alice in Wonderland, And Humpty Dumpty, from the wall fallen. And old loves and those we...

Premium Member Fairytales
She didn’t have a fairytale life With happily ever afters Or special tea parties with looney Mad Hatters She grew up imagining Prince Charming on a white horse She was a pretend Sleeping Beauty who’s path took a different course Drugs, gifts and deception Trafficked for human pleasures No high seas adventures or searching for treasures With the smell of sweat and beer From the...

Premium Member Mythical Creatures and Fairytales
Autumn's sigh emotion thrown across the night. Stars shiver in the laden cold with the moon's sight. The court yard had the comfort and invisibility As the elves, faeries, and minotaur physicality As they dance in the inner labyrinth among Countless others of their mythical young. No mundane would give it a second look. Yet, there is no such thing as a...
