Bewildering Snows
by Gayle C. Krause
Everyone knows the Snow Queen was mean,
the evilest sorceress you've ever seen.
She’d fallen asleep in her cradle of ice
when the kiss of a prince woke her up in a trice.
Her eyes flashed open. She narrowed her sight.
She gave the prince a terrible fright.
"Excuse me, my Queen. It seems I now know
in my confusion I've found the wrong Snow.
Your lips are so cold. This couldn't be right.
Please forgive my mistake for you're not Snow White.
Enter as many times as you wish by posting your poem in the comment section.
