Princesses Poems

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

Premium MemberTired of Princesses

If you are going to swarf, swelt, black out or swoon
Please do it outside under Dracula’s moon
Too many drama queens are in this house already
Thanks to the eight daughters of Arlene and Freddy

But if you are going to help with the housework
Then come on down, and join me, for you do not irk
I am tired

Premium MemberAre They Princesses

Are they princesses? The little girls asked the orchard master.
He knew they were not, but they wanted them to be, so he nodded.
They were actually his daughters, Jessica and Joyce, age fifteen.
What are they doing? One of the five-year-olds asked.
They were collecting apples, but that sounded common.
So, he replied “They are painting the apples red.”
They

Princesses

Fairies flawed each man,
That no women ever needed any men. 

Princes were rescued by the Princesses!
Those ladies were fierce,
They fed fear in any evil that existed. 

Princesses were warriors of their own kingdoms,
Hailed by Kings and Queens. 

Knowledge was a knife knot in their keys. 

They were the omen of our specimen.

Premium MemberMarguerite

Tall red and pink-tipped spears reach for the nothing-at-all blue sky, all washed out with sunshine. The tight wrapped buds of the hollyhocks are too high for us to reach, but Imogen can. You and I wait for her to bring them down. Here behind the flowers, no one can see us. It’s hot. Your

Premium MemberIn a World of Princesses Be a Witch

I will be the princess of the dynasty
The princess of the corkscrew
The princess of the underwear drawer
There is a lot of laughter

Sybil does not understand the others.
She is not amused or laughing
She gets out her tarot cards and her runes.
Begins plotting the spells that will transmogrify the others

Pretty pancake peacock pointedly persuaded powerhouse pig
To publicly plan porcupine’s playful pink planetary probability placement.

Porky plebes who placated porcupines, poking peacock’s replacement.

Premium MemberHollyhock Princesses

Hollyhock princesses provides a happy team.
Showing up marvelously in July’s early sunbeam.
Their lovely pink fuzziness shows no glare or loud sheen
They are as pretty as any beauty of sweet sixteen

Hollyhock princesses showing the garden off just so.
We can see their height no matter what our row.
They entice a delight as they tower and they grow.
Giving

Premium MemberDisney Princesses Go Clubbing

Let’s go to the bathroom, I said to the girls. There were six of them actually.
Mulan, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, Tiara, and me, Snow White, factually.
None had to go. Belle actually never looked up from the book she was reading.
Sleeping Beauty was popping her eyes at a Prince, who was next to us feeding.

Whistling bluebirds

Premium MemberDisney Princesses Thanksgiving

The princesses decided to have their own Thanksgiving Day feast.
While their princes were hunting, they could have fun at least.
All were invited, and they took turns in the kitchen.
Pocahontas was soon pouting, and Aurora was ’n.

The maize we had brought was not the sweet corn they liked.
It was too far back to town; no one

Farewell Kiss

His
Twinkling 
Kiss hisses
How he will miss
princesses when homeward tiredly he plods.

We see his sweetest farewell kiss; so I'll,
Letting them kiss
As they wish,
Gently
Pass.

Once upon a time…

Waking up at four, the princesses dress, then adorn their crowns with fascinators.  Princess Marie of Dutchess County courts her majesty,
with a lovely rose steep.

we bless our mother
she’s giddy with royalty
dad keeps his head down

Princess Suzanne and Princess Lynn chat up the queen mother. 
Heavenly scent of tea. All eyes suddenly
