Saved by the Plug - a Poem for Friday Writings

from a google search for "Cinderella"

Magaly has invited us to write poetry or prose which explores current Global Issues through fairy tales (let the retellings be bright, be dark, or be both).  This has been a controversial issue all over the world.  A demonstration is in progress over this matter this weekend at our National Capital, Washington D.C.

  Country Saved 

Miss Cinderella 

She'd found her fella 

He'd solve her worry 

Prince comes-now hurry 

Capital break in* 

Night darkness therein 

Pull bad guys' plug**

Make country smug 

While the others fuss

No more killing us 

 

She'd found her fella 

Miss Cinderella 

He solved her worry 

Prince came-they'd hurried 

While the others fuss

No more killing us 

Notes:

 *  I do not recommend this, prison punishment may result 

 ** What action might possibly accomplish this result I am not sure, nuclear depletion comes to mind?

Winter, season welcome? - a Poem for dVerse Quadrille

["Freezing rain", ©  Jimmiehov 2007] 

. 

Season not favored;

or is it?

Season for which 

I have mixed feelings 

Winter is coming 

A little freezing rain 

once in a blue moon 

But more often than not 

there'll be no snow, be 

only rain or 

freezing cold 

Is though, little bit fun  

to play when snow comes
