Cinder's Toe Ring
(the true story)

Clicking your heels
won't take you home
Monkeys don't fly in the
dead of the night
And if there really was a
yellow brick road it would
lead me straight to the
house of straw,
where the hunter met his
end to the wolf,
who now wipes his jowls
with the little girls hood
staining it the color of his
feast
Mice,
are just rodents chewing
away on another poem
I've tossed to the floor,
while I clean up the mess
my heart made when it bled
all over the pillow that
damned fool carried the shoe on
...you know
that shoe made of glass
The one that shatters your dreams
while it slices your toes and the
silver ring
....falls to the floor

Snow~
What bittersweet imagery to this little piece~
I loved the sardonic twist~

A fairy tale gone wonderfully, wonderfully wrong.
