in the shady part of the woods — breadcrumbs
clues gobbled up by blackbirds
Hansel~Gretel alarmed

One suitcase
Left in a field
Purposely
Like a bread crumb
On a trail
Dropped by Hansel
So he may find his way home...

There’s a story bout Hansel and Grettel
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...

For those of us
who'd believe
that the things we
post online
are as digitally 
biodegradable
as the breadcrumbs
left by Hansel and Gretel

Someday,
we may be in for 
a Grimm surprise...

Birds baked in pies, babies rocked out of trees
Kids all falling down from some dreadful disease
Young Hansel and Gretel
May wind up in a kettle
What tormented minds write stories like these?

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...

The witch is now dead
Let's get everyone fed!

Open a shop
With a skip and a hop!

Hope it lasts for a while
Will make everyone smile!

If they find it in the wood
Life will be better than good!

(From Hansel and Grettel)...

Mr. Hansel had a runny nose.
And every time it misbehaved,
The neighbors heard a lot of "Ohs!"
While his foes snorted giggles.

But Hansel didn't care about the nosey dribbles.
He worried more about the clock and runny time tables....

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.

Cinderella
Lass knew
Glass shoe

The Emperor’s new clothes
So rich
No stitch

Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Sees Ted
Flees bed

Hansel and Gretel
Cake Home
Bake Crone

The Three little Pigs
Skilled pigs
Build digs

Puss in Boots
Odd that
Shod cat...

chunks of dirt mingle with the bread.
cinnamon wafting in the wind.
a house of sugary bliss,
a promising deal of sweet paradise.

shoveling savories like a last meal--
bellies rising like dough,

suddenly shoved into a scalding scene.
outsides on fire,
insides igniting--
charred little children, 
burnt sugar lingering on their tongues....

Sleeping Beauty

Cinderella

Hansel and Gretal

Little Red Riding Hood

Parallels....

Each, and every one!?

To a another life

Born out of time

Through tears

And, through plights

Of ones darkest nights?!

Once upon a time

Twisted by rhyme

Metamorphosized....

They, did, become!?...

 Is it the nightingale, regaled a muse,
Enchantment of her lips — a poem?
     Her brown-chiffon wings reverberate.
     Nutrients of the earth in her open beak.
“Sing, my darling, of pure sweet pleasure.”
           Palms pressed to their hearts, Hansel and Gretel
           eat up the breadcrumbs of sorrowful souls.

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 a way.
Two kids came back—
but not the same....

Enthroned Qeis-Layla lay under God,
Propheted a mania in madness blood.

The spark of a padma has not died,
A sorrow Hansel-Gretel lacrimated.

A just far away lady likeness,
Adore God for the grimness.

Tristan- Isolde has begged Eden stair,
A chivalric ludus tore apart the affair.

Asking God to love is cup idly,
Anthony-Cleopatra quelled vividly.

When romantic feelings are triggered,
God laughed....

Peter cotton tail
Passed Pam down the the sliding rail
Possing prively passed position failed
Who said  Peter could created jelly bells
Oh well
People often smell
Like sewage water water down a rivers trail
Soap used to clean dumped waste polluted air
Peter scales thrifty built buildings ginger bread Hansel and Gretel gripped sail
Through the forest and under trees
Peter has legs to run but fell to his knees...

Creative souls flourish.

While others try to kill spirit of freedom . 

A fascist dictator cuts off the hair of the beloved Rapunzel. She no longer lets her hair down. 

Hansel & Gretel are locked inside a cage no more days of skim boarding or sunsets by the canyon. 

Walt Whitman is saddened by this oppressive state . 

Children are craving fun & imaginative experiences;  while an iron clad fist relishes in madness ....
