SNOW WHITE

The beginning of Snow White in verse. Result of a recent meeting with Disney 🙂

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

*

The snowflakes drifted in the air

As the queen sat on her chair

One stitch here and one stitch there

She worked with graceful care

*

“Ah, what a lovely winter morn”

She’d often look up and sigh

Something pricked her like a thorn

And she suddenly let out a cry

*

Her needle had pricked her finger

On snow lay three drops of blood

She let her lovely gaze linger

On ebony frame of embroidered bud

*

“If I had a child as white as snow”

As red as this blood,” she stood

And said with a warm glow,

“As black as this frame of wood.”

*

The queen’s wish came true

White skin, red lips, black hair

With a smile as supple as dew

She soon had a daughter fair

*

Wishes do come true, it’s strange

But may not be happy all the time

A lot many things may change

The glitter could turn to grime

*

And so they say goes the lore

Her daughter was named Snow White

If only the queen had wished for more…

When Snow White was born, she died

*

A year had passed and the king got

Another wife, stepmother to the child

It’s not written, but he must’ve thought

She was full of love with manners mild

*

It’s true she was lovely as a dream

But there was a small glitch

Although her giggle was like a stream

She was a vain, proud witch!
