Until I find my pace, a few posts from my previous blog will appear here. This is one, a poem that showcases things we’re looking for when we read fairy tales.
Beyond things and certain kinds of characters, we want an entertaining journey that takes us from curiosity to excitement, from suspense – and sometimes horror – to joy and relief!
Fairy Tales
In fairy tales we find
things quaint, sweet,
or unexpected.
In fairy tales we find
things profound
or horrible,
wheelbarrows filled with
toads and gems,
lions and hares,
an ogre’s castle,
fog and mist,
starlight, ships’ lanterns,
enchanted isles,
a forest not nicked by an axe,
a magical spyglass, tower,
and rope made from
Rapunzel’s yellow hair.
