A PARADOX IN THE ENCHANTED FOREST

Posted on July 10, 2016 by rixlibris

One hundred years she has slumbered
A crystal box her narrow bed.

One hundred years she has waited
For a princely kiss to restore her.

At long last her prince arrives,
His form a frog, cruelly enchanted as well.

She must have his kiss to break the spell,
He needs as much from her.

So they remain, a mere gesture away
From fulfilling their mutual dream.

    Well now, someone should prod them to get along with it, ha! That’s an interesting perspective of the Sleeping Beauty and the Frog Prince 🙂
