This morning is sadness
words I discover
leave me a lonely bluebird
in ruins of an ancient bird bath,
pecking residue of crusted moss.
Where is the life in this lost tale?
Skeletons of horses, a rotted pumpkin
wait to escort Cinderella
in aftermath of holy war.
I should have been here yesterday
when statues of cherubs
pissed fountains of fresh water.
I could have drank from
the silver cup,
worn silk ribbons in my hair.
What's left, but I'm sorry.
They didn't like you.
You weren't chosen
to light a prince's eye.
You were a mistake they tried to erase.
You came too late.
You'll just have to accept,
you were nothing but a stupid girl
that didn't understand.
Fly away bluebird.
There's nothing for you here
just bones of a dead dream.

This is interesting and intriguing.
Lots of great lines and images.
Enjoyed a bunch and I really like it.
Great job Jolie!

Sad but hauntingly beautiful poem, JolieH.

Mmm this is raw! Talk about not happily everafter this is it. I think this line, "in ruins of an ancient bird bath" sounds like soap scum! Very great descriptions JolieH!
