DWARVES
They’re short
But retort
To other sorts

Evil Queen
Her face, a jealous green
The mirror on the wall
Black heart could not forestall

Snow White
Her beauty did ignite
Ruby lips and raven hair
Seven dwarves were quite aware...

free your mind from old chains,  
  fetch me all nine muses,
    focus on mages, dwarves,
      fairies, elves and pixies,
        find me magic potions,
          fabled tales surprises,
              fiction must reign supreme.

I want to get filthy rich from writing poetry 
That is impossible! 
I write poems about dwarves and elves
Sometimes I write about Israel 
Sometimes I worry about what will happen in the future 
Meeting some nice women recently
That is all to the good!...

Beyond the ruins my heart once sighed
And there I sang a lullaby
Where rivers dream in euphony
And dwarves march in sullen sleep
The magic wakes the mountains run
And every memory becomes like one
Who sits upon Elfand’s throne
And ever by her name is Known

then i wrote it to myself

Quo teint
where they keep the intelligence

who was the sexiest of the seven dwarves
Was Bash
Fully interrupted that line

look at that shoop in those sheep
A rolling gather mosses no stone
i mist the sky
fog got

definitively asking what does the mean

why do people think
Pikachu would taste like chicken...

The mathematical uncertainty of perfect pitch 
Causes the central part of my mind to itch 
I strive to explain in words I can't find 
And once more feel I'm left behind 
In that empty space of nebulous width 
that causes my thoughts to smoke and drift 
Through passing time of dwarves and elves 
People once used to find themselves 
In ringing tones of distant bells...

so....
wheres my prince charming?
wheres the gorgeous, kind, perfect guy i was promised
wheres my fairy god mother
and helpful little furry creatures
and the seven dwarves
wheres the happy ending and smiling faces
big castle and diamonds galore disney movies promised me in life
i know where it is
its in a story, a fairytale
so lets sue those people for making us think things could be perfect...

Pages flying
Thunder clapping
Sun shining
Hearts breaking
Snowflakes dancing
Willows weeping
Wind whistling

It's all personification- but what if we switched them around:

Pages whistling
Thunder flying
Sun clapping
Hearts shining
Snowflakes breaking
Willows dancing
Wind weeping

Sounds like fantasyland- maybe that's where elves make toys, fairies fly, dwarves mine, trolls sing and dance, and gnomes do... whatever gnomes do.

Snow White awoke when she heard Grumpy snore
Her water she sipped, laid the cup on the floor
The dwarves all lined up, they said Good morning Snow
She said Time for work, want a drink ’fore you go?
She said we’ve got cola, both cherry and plain
Or maybe Cream Soda or Fanta again
Well I’m having tea, Darjeeling, I think
She said let me know what you fancy to drink
A brief flash of thigh when she bent for her cup
And when she stood up she said...
Oh, 7 up...

COLD FACTS

ugly truth…

snow-whites dwarves
worked in a betting
shop and wore
dresses for fun

the ugly sisters
were neither ugly
sisters or even
woman so not
remotely…
interested in
prince charming

bombs are not fitted
with clocks. They explode
spontaneously
like requisitioned cars
that nosedive into
a ravine and blow up

killing the handsome sheriff
and all his sidekick
cowboys that quell his
dreams

As I sit 
here in the ESL lab
   In my mind 
I enter Middle Earth
  The terrain is familiiar
   to throngs of people
Yet there is always something
   new to discover 
I can hear the sining 
      of the elves
   under the stars
Feel the power of the dwarves 
     in Khazad - Dum
Partake of the joy
     of hobbits 
at harvest time
   in the Shire
They move me to 
  pick up my pen
and add to all those 
    writers whose are 
concerned with Middle Earth
    and its glorious 
magic...

We flee
Away from city life
To ancient trees
Forgetting our daily strife.
Where brownies, dwarves, gnomes, and
Fairies befriend tall ones with a jeweled 
Knife.
This place is so neat.
There among the trees as big as life
Is a white unicorn. They're not obsolete.
This was such a treat.
Then we were led to the banquette
Where the king of the fairies said. Please
Take your seats so we can begin to eat.
Don't be loose with your drink remember
We have guests use your etiquette....

Wielding a mighty axe
       the leader of 
     the dwarves
came to a noble end
       Yes, he was overcome 
at first 
    by greed and lust 
for gold
    Yet his heart went out
to the doughty hobbit Bilbo
after the battle of Five Armies ended
  He let his rage die
Yes, at first he was overcome
      by his desire 
for the gem of gems - the Arkenstone
Yet in the end he realized 
that real riches 
  lie in friendship 
the joy of time spent
  with those we honor and trust...
