Cinderella thought she had found her Prince Charming,
but arriving at the palace was a bit alarming.
Cinderella found it rather absurd,
how each room had women from all over the world.

Then he gave her a dustpan and sweeping brush,
told her:
"Clean the kitchen and then make sure the...

she paints lipstick
mother's red
on her sunken face
careful not to smear
the edges of tears
...a kiss upon her cheek

she tries to scrub
her unkempt soul
with the filth
upon the floor
her hands bloodied
trailed in pink suds

she watches
as she shines
the windows
tiny leaves twirling
gracefully
in autumn's breeze
as if in dance
with a prince

she dreams
of...

All of her life
She just wanted to meet him,
He doesn’t even know she exists
All she can do is dream.
As she grows up without anything to remember him
She tries to stay strong,
She’s always thought what it would be like
To have that father/daughter bond.
She’s all grown up...

Cinderella Bites Back
Joanna Davis


Once upon a story; in a fairy tail.
Lived a shy and lonely girl,
Who's friends were Mop and Pail. 
She was really quite a clever girl,
But suffered hate and spite.
Until an invitation came,
And she wished with all her might!

‘if only I could go...

He has learned to earn joy from paying sorrow's fee
He has learned to turn and fight and never to flee
He has unloosed the burden of false royalty
Cast off at low-tide to be swept out to sea
His bended back straightens to a minute degree
He walks a...

CINDERELLA    GOLDENROD


The June garden  is overflowing with summer colour. 
The dresses are gorgeous. The Prince is dazzled.
In the corner, Cinderella  in drab green looks sad;
But the clock ticks. In August, the Prince of the Sky 
Will see her clusters of...

I Came By…
(to see you)

You don’t see me. 
I see you, everyday. 
I am afraid to say hello. 
You may say good-bye. 

I just want to ask, 
if you like dinner, 
have you eaten?
Do you eat? 
Of course you have…
or will.. 
or might…
I believe I...

Oh, flower in this crannied wall,
how did your roots prevail and sprawl
from seed that landed in a crack-
so shallow, small, in woods set back
from warm sun rays, to grow in shade
with vines about you- old and frayed?

Your blossom glows a vibrant red;
you stand out bright...

When I was a child
Everything was magical
Full of mystery and the unknown
I read hundreds of books
The library my haven
My home
Hours upon hours
Night and day
I read and got lost in text
They supplied me with adventures
Secret journeys
Fun and fairy tales
I absorbed the words like a sponge
The books...

When The Party Is Over

When the party’s over, the rising sun shines, with all eyes squinting
Make-up smeared on face’s, some have slimy snail skin
A woman waiting for a gent to light her cigarette, just hinting
Last thing she remembered the drink in her cup sink’n in
Alas...

Mirror Mirror

Do not lie. I know that you want to. 
I know that you may need to.  
I am broken, and soon…
You will be too. 

Fairy tales they fill us up as kids. 
Happy endings and forever’s, that have no end. 
Beauty did not...

Plain as she can be
She who sat next to me
Freckled with horn rimmed glasses
And late to all her school classes
An outcast, she thought by her peers
Dwelling on her chronic fears
Not wanting to be noticed
As like the beauty and grace of the lotus
Flying under the radar...

We were sisters, but more like Cinderella and the ugly sister variety ...
and of course you always made me feel like I am the ugly one!

I’ve done so much for our parents for years
but you got all the glory ... and the privileges
A house, private...
