@scripter-of-kingdoms You’re honestly spot-on tho XD The ones I don’t care for as much go through waaay less trauma and heartache than the ones I absolutely adore. Weird how that worksssss XD

March 8, 2021 at 8:53 am #95089@daisy-torres Well, thank you!! Yeah, it’s true, I think when there’s more emotion and, like, experience in a poem I like it more!

I look to your eyes;
Intelligent, brown.

March 20, 2021 at 9:15 pm #95966April 6, 2021 at 1:16 pm #96825So I just finished this poem today that I’ve been working on for a while. The first line came to me a while back and I wrote it down, buuut then I forgot about it XD I came across it again the other day so I worked on it.
The Snow Queen
Mama laughed when she heard
the words that were carried
by the ol’ mockingbird.
Put down your rollin’ pins,
set ’em aside.
winter’s a’comin’
and you better hide.
Paw’d kept his ol’ stride
through many a day
an’ through many a night,
workin’ so hard
to keep out our fright,
’til he’d worked himself silly,
that cold, fateful night.
I still remember,
though a young thing I was,
that evenin’ he came home,
dressed white in snow fuzz.
His face was pale as the moon,
and Mama said she thought he’d swoon.
If he’d’ve agreed, then we’d’ve felt better,
but the answer that came, Mama said, was the weather.
“The snow queen’s out t’night,
so pack yer things, Bonny,
an’ we’ll move out now, ‘right?”
See, I was young,
and I didn’t know better.
So I packed up my bags
and ran out to greet her.
There she was, tall as a tree.
and I yelped as the cold
went past cloth to me.
I heard the ol’ bird, though ’twas just a memory.
Put down your rollin’ pins,
set ’em aside.
winter’s a’comin’
and you better hide.
Well winter had come, and we were all payin’–
That ol’ little house, with the snow all arrayin’.
The Queen hovered high,
up and up, touchin’ the sky.
Her face stared down,
with a question in her eye.
Said she, “My, my,” And placed an icy hand on mine.
“Come with me, Darlin’, and we’ll go to the sky.”
See, I was young,
and didn’t know better.
So I sat down my bags
and went with her.
The snow began to swirl,
and I stared in wide wonder
as the stars took us upward,
far inside the blue thunder.
They found me there the next mornin’,
wrapped in a blanket of snow.
How I got there, no one claimed to know.
Mama’d laughed when she heard
the words that were carried
by the ol’ mockingbird.
Put down your rollin’ pins,
set ’em aside.
winter’s a’comin’
and you better hide.
