what gretel never knew.

what gretel never knew.

A Poem by jenniewren (J.W. Bouwman)

what gretel never knew

before

but was to soon find out:

is each hard-won breadcrumb

the prize she'd sought to gain,

or what her journey's brought about?

Short, mischievous and thought-provoking. It makes me re-think the way those nursery rhymes were taught, to us ;)

Short, yet serves its justice. Well done JW! You're quite clever!

in the woods, when it's getting dark, it's hard to tell if it's a bread crumb, or maybe something else...we eat a lot of s**t on the way to knowledge

childhood stories have shown us that simple words can hold so much knowledge~ some children will grow to find out, some will not~ interesting theme, Jenn :)
