Ploom #004

Fairytale girls want to chill out,

say a prayer / make a wish,

phone a friend

without a prince lurking behind a well,

asking for her hand, or foot,

or detailing another conditional clause in his coronation contract.

Fairytale girls want to break patterns,

sing unenchanted / sleep in peace,

vanquish in their own time.

The twist in the tale will be a collective roar.

Maybe you should hire a knight to guard 

your door – they aren’t so busy these days.
