Jack hurriedly climbs the lofty beanstalk
Hoping to take Cinderella out for a walk
Cinderella looks out her window, slightly bitter
Left with Little Boy Blue, her tiny, glass slipper
Little Boy Blue feels like enjoying an afternoon nap
Hearing Snow White calling awakens him in a snap
Snow White hopes the Seven Dwarfs hurry back
Fearing the Big Bad Wolf will hide her in his sack
The Big Bad Wolf plans to enjoy a scrumptious feast
Hiding from Little Jack Horner who lives in the East
Little Jack Horner feels too full to devour a pie
Leaving the sweets for Jill who says, “Oh my!”
Jill loses her footing, tumbling down and down
Causing Jack to wake up, with a sleepy frown
Little Jack’s wonderful dream felt pleasing and fine
Reminding him that more stories wait for next time
a happy jumble

Thanks Michael. I like your words “happy jumble.” This is different type of theme, but it was fun to link the verses together.

I appreciate your kind words Diana. It was an enjoyable poem to craft. A writer needs to keep pushing the boundaries of his craft, otherwise he could become too predictable and stagnant. We need to reach out to taking calculated risks and new challenges. God’s peace!
