Ms. Widman 11 & 12th Grade
In the unknown woods of Sunny St.
a red hooded girl left abandoned in a castle.
She doesn’t have enough ingredients,
throws her pans panicking.
Guests come angry and argue
10 minutes only she starts cooking
wishes her food turns out good.
She serves the food with an empty face.
The guests liked the food, everyone’s happy.
That diner, she meets a boy,
a boy that is a chef for the castle.
He taught her how to cook.
She got better, started competing,
made amazing food that tasted like a dream.
She’s the number 1 chef in the village.
they have come for her
the rich is seeking what he wants
the slipper he has the giant slipper
the beautiful glistening glass
so blue and bright
looks like diamonds to my eyes
these frauds chop and cut
fixing their imperfections
lying to the king himself
not wanting to loose what
they think is rightfully theirs
our beauty all dirty but perfect
it fits the slipper fits
finally able to leave this hell
now let the wedding bells ring
blood and sorrow on all the fraud’s faces
My cats have the most beautiful scales
rainbow scales with more color than a static screen.
They got along just fine, carried the weight of each other.
Then–the day of the reckoning came.
They began to rip and tear the scales;
the cats were fully alert.
That morning, I woke up to my home as colorful as ever.
And when I turned that corner
my cats were bare of scales
and we had to separate them to keep what’s left.
