Maleficent

The 5th poem in my fairytale collection.

They all think I’m evil because I’m different,

No one wants to be friends with Maleficent.

I hide in my fortress so I’m never seen,

Who could love someone with skin that’s green?

 

I’ve never been invited to a party or ball,

But I’ve heard there’s a celebration with an invitation to all.

It’s for the birth of a baby " a princess no less!

But I don’t know what to give her or how I should dress.

 

Everyone is starting to get an invite,

Mine must be lost for it’s nowhere in sight.

It’s been weeks now and I’m getting downhearted "

Especially since now the party has started.

 

Don’t get upset; maybe they forgot?

Maybe it slipped their minds, then again, maybe not.

I know I’m no beauty but how dare they judge!

They’ve made a mistake ‘cause I can hold a grudge.

 

I’ll curse that baby to die at sixteen,

So now they won’t be lying when they say I’m mean.

They call me a villain so that’s what I’ll be,

I’ll take my revenge and make them all see!

I like this a lot. I'm old fashioned. I much prefer rhymed poems. the little child in me enjoyed this fairy tale. who doesn't?

Although she was not among my favorite Disney characters, I was the girl who loved heroes, courage, and bravery. I have grown to really love and respect Maleficent since seeing the live action movie with Angelina Jolie in the main role. I never considered looking at her from the perspective of someone who became what she became due to something that happened to her in the past. The live action movie made me a fan of hers I do admit. Which is also why I chose to use a picture from the movie for my avatar.

Your piece is very well written, and it even sparked an idea in me for something to write about in the future for my favorite Disney, fairy tale characters. So with that I simply will say, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
