Her chambermaid's smile says
that he could clear her drudgery,
turn her blood blue
with joy, if only for
one random weekend night. But
he owns no magical shoe
of glass or fur
to slip onto that small white foot,
just some acrylic four-inch heels
left over from a bleary afternoon
with two eager sisters
and their mother, long ago.

Anschulalmost 16 years ago...by one of our masters of understatement. I suspect that in the real world, this IS how it turned out. Nice.
Anonymousalmost 16 years agoI adore this variant. Speaks the truth. You are the master of the wicked-funny endings something like Emeril with his chili powder. :) Bam!
KOLKOREalmost 16 years agoAnd now we move to de construct our dreams and fairy tales... Just as compelling as your dreaming of our lives 'stage'... <P>
BTW, If I read the poem correctly, I think Cindy is not hearing of a different side of the prince himself but of one of his aids.
Angelinealmost 16 years agoNot only does she have to clean the ashes and put up with those three witches, but now it turns out that the prince is human. :-)
Love the ironic take and the perspective shift. Happy endings are overrated, at least in poems.
Your poem has been recommended in the New Poems Reviews thread on Literotica's Poetry Feedback and Discussion forum. Thanks for the read!
