Rapunzel
grew her hair
from pixy crop
to tresses long and thick
let down your hair
baby i will return
upon my word
left with absence

Cinderella
her pumpkin turns into
silver
at midnight
her crystal slippers
are flipflops in the summer
gold diamond rings
lost at roundabouts

Snow-White
longs to be the wicked witch
since she is temptation
in a rotten apple
like Eve
waiting for a
prince’s kiss

Goldilocks
is greedy
she has too much
sleep in her eyes
blinded by sloth

Little Red Riding Hood
is clever
not afraid of the
big bad wolf
who snaps
SIM cards
and spines.
