The Poetry Marathon

Hour going by

Another level

Defeat the monster

Save the princess

Get a coin

Defeated

Try Again

You Win

Darkness growing around

Monsters coming into the corners

I feel something stare

I keep light on the whole night

Dolled up

makeup

messy

marked down

natural

help done

What am I to you?

Water flows through it

Casting no shadow

Beautiful over the translucent simpleness

Growing in the dark earth or displayed with color

It is not for everyone

Singing

Dancing

Telling stories

Time after time

like phone tag

until

the Singing is now voiceless sounds

the Dancing is motions that sway and flow

the stories become tales and fables of folktales and legends

Time after time

passed down through generations

until

Secret relatives

New additions

Divorce

Marriage

Renewed Vows

Old year

New Year

Time is slow

Time is fast

Now what?

Forget me nots

Notes

Ignorance

Love

Hate

Coming clean

Escape

Lose 

Found

Fake 

Real

Smile

tickle

warmth

breathless

unconditional

natural

easy

Lost limbs with fingers stubbed

legs that do not run when it is hot

scare others

wear clothes of bright colors

taste sensations

Leather boots earned not bought

Poisoned words

slimy, sneaky quickness

Snow White took the Queen role.

Aurora turned into a dragon.

Ariel is the sea witch.

Mushu created a cult.

Sven kept Anna until he got carrots.

Cinderella turned into the Evil Godmother.
