She And Her Wolf

Dearest sweet red

I will come for you, my lamb.

For our unkind fate to be fed,

The basket you hold is my jamb.

 

I will steal you as you smile, my pet.

To calm my growls you had once set.

 

Oh wonderer of the dim lit wood,

How you carry the weight of this sagging forest,

And my false pretense voice under that hood.

Let me sink my jaws again into you're quest.

 

Ride once more when I howl! Satisfy this thirst.

Let me see you grin....in fear, like you should have at first!

 

But you tore me, crooked soul of that lumper jack;

Away to the other side of damned life and luck.

My silent body you filled of stone; drowned back

To soil who raised the flowers I had asked you to pluck.

 

My love, beware!

I will always be by your side to scare.

Author's Note

"The Little Red Riding Hood" in my opinion was a very dark story.
Inspirtion led me to add romance into the plot in the form of a poem to give it a more Gothic taste :D
The poem is resisted by the "Big Bad Wolf"

A nice take on that traditional tale. I think everyone ponders a different version of what was going through Little Red's mind or the Wolf's. I personally always thought that they were actually best friends and everything they did were just hijinks in order to up the ratings for the fairytale syndicate. =D

But, i'll admit... there was something about having Red be an axe wielding Wolf killer that was apealings as well.

Your poem really used a good selection of word choices to weave the imagery. It's the type of poem that you want to read over a few times just to enjoy the overall feeling each line gives and the different varying emotions that resonate through the stanzas.

Great Ink!

Thank you soo much! I really appreciate it :D
Well if you read the original not sanitized version of the tale, It wasn't Red Riding Hood who killed the wolf, It was the Lumper Jack.

I was opting for the feeling you emphasized in this review, I'm very honored! Thank you very much!

Loved this poem, interesting how it gave an insight into the eyes of the wolf from such an iconic fairytale. Never seen it done before, which makes it unique also. Great work!
