Who is the fairest one of all?

Seven dwarfs as friends,

An envious stepmother -

Kiss to raise the dead.

Snow White 2 (variation)

A casket mishap

Landed her with Prince Charming,

And not true love’s kiss.

Every bottle

He sent to the sea

Would disappear in the foam

Never to return again.

Yet no answer arrived

But he never gave up.

He continued writing

His undisputed message

In every bottle:

“I am alive”

Singing in the Rain

When pouring rain falls

Is everyone so merry,

Or just men in love?

Heartbreak

Till your wound drips red,

I'll come without a white flag -

Strike out of the blue.

Portrait of a Girl

Sweet innocence,

Coyness,

Contagious laughter,

Big, hopeful eyes,

Cherry lips,

Devoid of lies,

A doll

In miniature.

It took me a while

to realize

it is not a portrait

I am seeking,

but a reflection

in the mirror.

Challenge

Summer

Kids flying kites high,

Ice-cream dripping lazily,

The smell of sunburn.

Words

Fluttery Spirits,

Released from the cage - our mind -

Never to return.

A memory

A swing

Held by

The mighty

Oak

My sister's 

Hair

Chased

By the wind

Eating

Watermelon

On the

Cottage

Porch.

Colourblind

<p>Sap runs through the palm,

As blood pumps into the heart -

A sketch in pencil.
