Tinkerbell must Die

 

 

I'm so sick of poems about fairies

Tinkerbell and her freaking bag of dust

maybe she'll eat some poison berries

unicorns, rainbows, sunsets and love

why is everything from heaven above

dancing singing laughing and hugging

gag me on the spoon that I'm chugging

beautiful views and twinkling stars

fairytale endings and happily ever after

annoying meddlies and nursery rhymes 

I wish I may I wish I might

have this dream I wish tonight

Cinderella needs to get laid alright

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

what a perfect ending for fairies and all!

Author's Note

Just poking some fun at myself and other poets that write at times about the same thing over and over and over and over again.

The piece is so masterly written. The irony is to the point. I also dislike shabby images and worn out clichés. Though sometimes I use them in writing. And thinking about excuses I usually come to conclusion: what kind of life would be without all the sentimental stuff? It would be nothing but the stale bread. )

[Mirra]

Unique! That's the word for this one. It's funny and entertaining. Great piece!

[MomzillaNC]

Very funny send up of all the sappiest fairytales! As a mother of a ten year old, I can totally relate! I'm so TIRED of Disney!

You should enter this in the Make Us Laugh contest

Wow, I loved this! I'm kind of tired of the same old thing and this random poem that was very well written cheered me right up! Thank you for writing this.

[Moonie]

Hahaha. I love how you framed the end, and how the poem flows. My favourite lines would be:
" i wish I may I wish I might
have this dream I wish tonight"
I agree with your point of view. Writers and poets should be anything except bland. Versatility is one of the qualities essential for every writer. Being mercurial in this stale world is not a sin.

[New Theory]

This is written wonderfully, the words are awesome and I found it to be a darkly humorous, enjoyed it. This is great.

you really say it well here, Muse...and i must confess...i am probably guilty of this...

nicely done with a some extra pleasant sarcasm.

[Savannah Bly]

I absolutely loved this! It is funny yet true. Why do we have to make things wonderful, happy, magical, bright, and fairy-tale like? Wonderful thought and expression. Great piece, one of my favorites! :)

[Gregory Stires]

i really like your poem. i agree with you about the stupid fairy stereotype and how every time they make it all sugar and everything nice which becomes annoying.

[Emily]

Haha, I think the same some times! Good write.

[Michael G. Smith]

I agree too much sugar can spoil the pie, but Tinkerbell must die? I love Tinkerbell. We have a new dryer and when the cycle is finished it makes a sound like Tinkerbell and does so every ten minutes until you shut of the dryer. You can hear quiet across the house, it's just so cool.

lol it's people like you that own those kind ofdryer's, cuckoo clocks, the reruns of Finding Nemo...the color purple here...too much pink over there. Well it all makes me feel a little crazy after awhile. lol

Actually, I'm more of a comic book geek, I have three daughters and one granddaughter.
