Haiku Once Upon a Fairytale

Haiku Once Upon a Fairytale

Fairytale Princess

Bathed in the moonlight, she waits

Locked in the tower

 

Evil witch’s spell

Keeps her trapped in seclusion

Alone in the dark

 

 

She dreams of a prince

She wonders if he will come

Riding on his steed

 

 

With a crystal ball

Evil witch sees all hears all

In her dark prison

 

 

Many have sought her

Fought through the forest of doom

Only to be burned

 

Dragon’s fiery breath

Consumed all her known suitors

At witch’s command

 

 

Witch waits for the day

But her beauty never fades

Angering the witch

 

 

On his royal steed

Prince Stavros, his sword in hand

Slays the dragon beast

 

 

Princess Malondra

Cries out in sheer ecstasy

She will soon be free

 

Witch sends her serpents

To devour the handsome prince

Princess holds her breath

 

Stavros surrounded

He holds his shield and his sword

Serpents spit poison

 

 

Fairy godmother

Sees the handsome prince’s plight

Waves her magic wand

 

 

His sword now glows red

And cuts off the serpents’ heads

Magic of the sword

 

Witch transforms herself

She now has Malondra’s face

Kiss me now oh prince

 

 

He is mesmerized

He’s fallen under her spell

Their lips almost touch

Malondra cries out

She is not me; I’m not her

She’s the evil witch

 

 

Stavros is spellbound

His heart can’t tell who is true

He must kill the witch

 

In his shield he sees

A reflection of them both

With his sword, he strikes

 

 

Witch lay dead today

Malondra is free at last

Her face glows with love

 

 

He is prince charming

Stavros climbs the tower wall

Rescues his princess

 

 

Ride into the night

Prince and princess castle bound

Through forest of love

 

Royal wedding day

Two hearts have now become one

All hail King and Queen

 

 

In the throne chamber

King and Queen upon their thrones

Watch their children play

 

 

Fairytale princess

All her dreams have now come true

Her godmother smiles

As always beautiful work. I enjoyed this one very much. Fantasy is my favorite genre and who doesn't love a good fairy tale? Keep up the good work!
