The Thirteenth Fairy

Bless her :)

In the finest of your hour
On the pinnacles of bliss
In your moments of sheer joy
In triumphs and in victory
Do not forget the 13th fairy
She lurks outside your door
Green in her cloak of envy
Looking to change your destiny
So just leave your door ajar
Let her step in and with her
curses, re-engineer your tale
from a blurb on an unrecalled page
into a glorious epic in history

Now it all makes sense! That 13th Fairy and her wicked curse on the unfortunate child in the fairytale story. Perhaps its a metaphor for another fairytale in reality, except perhaps the child this time is the real embodiment of wickedness. I knew of "Sleeping Beauty" but wasn't intimately knowledgeable of all areas of the tale. Your poem carries a rather menacing moral for any that carry a wicked heart. Be always on your guard. Step out of line and your destiny will be altered and not for the better. It's quite an effective and strongly messaged poem when you peel away the layers. The sad reality however is that should the curse hold, there will be no prince game enough to wake this one from her slumber! A 5 % chance max! A clever write, dear P! A fine reimagining on the classic tale written with the appropriate menace that would do Maleficent herself proud! Much enjoyed! :))

Thanks a ton Madame! You summarised my feelings so beautifully here!
The Sleeping Beauty is a lovely tale which can be viewed from more perspectives than just one.
No doubt the 13th fairy was wicked but without her the tale would be no tale. Rascals and evildoers are perhaps needed to push you to your heights of greatness. That’s my main thought while writing this poem.
As for the real character that may inspired me...it’s something so hilarious, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you. Lol. I’ll pm you anyway. Yeah there’s 5% chance they’ll be kissed & 95% chance they’ll be given the miss! Not sexy enough 🤓 heheheh.

Thanks a bunch of the loveliest roses in all your favourite colours. I’m mailing them right away!
