Snow White
by Lyle Berry (Age: 61)
copyright 08-04-2003


Age Rating: 18 to 127

  Snow White
Picture Credits:

Not the blood of a hart
on the woodsman’s dagger;
nor the heart of that stag
in a jewel-crusted box.
Not the mirror of truth
on the wall of a castle;
nor sweet apple with venom
in a cruel witch queen’s claws.

Not benevolent dwarves
to rescue a princess;
nor surreal existence
in Disney World bliss.
Not an elegant prince
on a prancing white charger;
nor, for his fair lady,
an awakening kiss.

No, the blood of Snow White
stains the blade of the hunter;
her heart dripping gore
soils his grisly game bag.
And the mirror of coercion,
in bleak castle halls wails.
All’s deception in life -
just as in fairytales.

Excellent write Lyle

Fairytales can be too real, as you point out!
08-04-2003 Moses Hochstetler    

This poem rings with the "cutting edge" of truth, Lyle! There is far too much brutality in this world - man's inhumanity to his fellow man, and his inhumane treatment of the fauna with which he shares this fragile planet.
