Fairy Tales
In fairy tales we find
things quaint, sweet,
or unexpected.
In fairy tales we find
things profound
or horrible,
wheelbarrows filled with
toads and gems,
lions and hares,
an ogre’s castle,
fog and mist,
starlight, ships’ lanterns,
enchanted isles,
a forest not nicked by an axe,
a magical spyglass, tower,
and rope made from
Rapunzel’s yellow hair.
