Prolific (Ode to Sleeping Beauty)
...........
Prolific poet,
pain princess,
love goddess,
climbs lonely spire.

Sleeping beauty
in her dreams
a long time
in her dreams
and not once
did she see
the prince.



Louise Mary Coope (2007)

Impaled (Ode to Sleeping Beauty (Part Two)
...................................................................
In her dreams
In her medieval dreams
did she see the prince
impaled
after he impaled her
and then informed her
he wanted to concentrate on sweating over his kingdom?

I doubt it.


Louise Mary Coope (2007)
