[hometext] => Sorry it's a little long
[bodytext] => Lonely the prince, lost without hope Timeless the tale of his sorrow Many women sighed, would fall at his feet If he would propose tomorrow But he wanted no ordinary girl Was waiting for one beyond compare One that had jewels for eyes And the stars radiance in her hair He was such he would not settle For even Princesses and Queens Were not beautiful or stately enough To by his side be seen He wanted a most magnificent wife One that no other had ever known What he did not realize Is the seed his vanity had sown A sorceror decided to teach This poor prince a lesson strong He took a lizard from near the pond And decided before long This prince would see how foolish His waiting and wanting could be The sorcerer took unicorn horn And shell from abalone Sprinkled stardust and gold Then added ruby for the lips And sapphires to enhance her eyes Then stirred with wind to sway her hips When he was through She was a beauty most extraordinaire Blue eyes and red, red lips Golden star dusted hair He dressed her in silks and satin Jewels adorned her locks The prince fell at her feet He really was in shock Never had such beauty Roamed this planet thus far The sorcerer laughed to himself Most of her came from a jar The prince struck speechless Married her that very day He stood so very proud Did not want her to get away He took her on a honeymoon To a lovely castle by the lake He swept her off her feet And laid her on the bed Deciding a kiss to take But the moment his lips met hers A lizard she became once more Locked forever in this sight The prince ran out the door They say you can still hear him Roaming the sandy shores Screaming to eternity His loneliness now forever more [comments] => 7 [counter] => 154 [topic] => 31 [informant] => NoSaint [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 6 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
