Fairytale Ending

Fairytale Ending

As we read more

Learn more

Or seek the next sensation

We know they ended poorly

Tragically and violent

The ancient tales

Who sanitized them, I don’t know

Not Grimm, maybe Perrault

And Hans Christian Andersen who wrote

His own

Let’s not fault him

The contemporary cleaning crews we know

Let’s not revile

Who doesn’t wish for happy ending

Really, if you could craft your own

If you could have the one

If you could have the promise

That the next day will be better than

The present

While the one you have today is pretty good

Wouldn’t you

I would

I think you would, too

I prefer Christopher in conversation. In writing, I use C L Couch because it’s a genderless form of my name and, frankly, easier—I have severe writer’s cramp. I mean to be a poet writing spiritual and occasional verse. The photographs used permanently here—for the banner, for my profile—were taken by Debra Danielson, a photographer and friend. You may enjoy more of her work at debra.danielson.org. If you would credit me when quoting my work, I'd be thankful. As I am thankful for your presence here.
