Such a beautiful face
What a disgrace
That it smiled so rarely
Even at those she loved dearly
From the moment she was born
It seemed her world was broken and torn
She ran away to the woods in the pouring rain
Running to get away from the pain
Until she met a mysterious old woman
At first she wanted to continue to run
But something about the old lady made her stay
Something she is thankful for to this day
“There’s no need to run no more
You have a power and I will show you what for
Come with me and I will teach you the way
But a small price you will pay”
The old lady said
A million scenarios played
In her head but she followed the old woman anyway
As it turned to night from day
They reached a cave and the old woman disappeared
In her place a little cat appeared
It led her to a magical book
That she quickly took
In it were hundreds of spells that would transform her world
Everything she had known and believed unfurled
As she read and read all night long
In a distance she heard a beautiful song
She felt herself transform into a raven haired witch
And now it was her turn to teach
All the young women in the land
How to fight and take a stand
She used her power to change the world around her
To bring equality and order
There was no more sadness
Or unhappiness
Only joy and laughter
They all got their happily ever after
About “Happily Ever After”:
This poem is a response to fellow blogger, Kevin’s, No Theme Thursday prompt post for this week. He has some great picks this week but these two images just stood out to me today. He has awesome NTT prompts every week, do check out his blog for more.
This poem was mostly written for fun, I thought these two images went well together and seemed like they were from the same time period. It looks like they’re actually wearing the same dress in different colours which is what made me want to pair the two images. I wondered how I would get the stories to work together and this is what I ended up with.
