"This Ain't No Fairy Tale"

All dressed in red from head to toe,
was pretty Little Red Riding Hood.
With a hamper did she go
to her Grandma's in the wood.

She wasn't frightened or at all scared
when a big, bad wolf blocked her path.
She was surprised that he had even dared,
"What a loser" she said with a laugh.

But the wolf certainly wasn't impressed,
grabbing her wrists like a clamp.
But that idea wasn't his best:
Little Red was world kung-fu champ.

Our heroine loved to kick some butt,
and with a smile as sweet as pie,
her foot made contact with the mutt,
sending him soaring into the sky.

A local lumberjack had heard commotion,
running to Little Red's side.
With a charming sense of devotion,
he escorted her like a bride.

As they approached Grandma's home,
the handsome lad waved off his miss.
However, he wouldn't be left alone
after a passionate thank you kiss.

Really, she's no angel sweet and small,
but this story is her own.
Don't spoil the secret, after all,
some things are better left unknown.

It is very good. I enjoyed how you twisted the fairytale. It is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you for answering. I can't wait to read more. But thanks for entering!!!!!! :):):):)

Yea you can call fairy tales. I have no issue with it as long as you understand that someone could use the same as you and not know it was called. But I have no problem
with it, and good luck writing!!!!!!:):):):):):)

I think i'll do it.

I call Cinderella please and thank you!

~MaryAnne

I call beauty and the beast. please and thank you

Mm interesting i'll try my hand at it...

Edited.
I'm going to pick a different one, I think.

I'll take the "boy who cried wolf"

Fairy tale -"boy who cried wolf"-damont

title- the boy flock and wolf

The code name was determined wolf
Push a button say wolf and the cops came
A boy watched over a store
All its possession he called his flock
He pushed the button the first time out of boredom
There wasn’t a robbery it was all fake
The cops came and he just laughed in their face

The next day he pushed it again but by mistake
But said wolf anyway
Just to see them rush in but they came 5 minutes late
He waited for them to get there and laughed in their face
Told them it wasn’t a robbery it was all fake

The next day a robber came
And put the gun to his head
The boy pushed the button and said
“Wolf” “wolf” “wolf” what do you want man?
The robber laughed at him in his face
That was the last thing he heard before going insane
And he was tormented by the laugh in this case
In the corner he still waits for the cops that never came

I really like this. You twisted the story very well. I enjoyed reading it!! :) Thank you for entering!!:)

I hope to see more!!:)

I think I want to try Sleeping Beauty. I don't know what I'm going to write for it yet though, so I might change my mind afterwards. But I'll try to stick with Sleeping Beauty. (y)

There ones was a boy who was walking in a forset one day. He thought everything was beautful but there was a raven. He tired to shoe it away. The the raven turned into dove then he thought it was beautful. The boy tried to touch it, it flew away. When he looked on the branch there was a small flower that was white as snow and a small note that said "once the flower dies the cures will stay." He was thinking what did that mean. so when he got home is bride to be fall into a deep, deep sleep. Till he learn to love what everone else thought was ugly is bride to be would never awake.
* i hope you enjoyed, it's a small bit.*

I thought it was really good. There was a good lesson on it. I liked it alot. It had a good rhyme skeem in it. Well it was really good, and thank you for entering. I can't wait to see any more. Well thank you

The Little Red Truth
by Spirit

I hate fairy tales
No, I honestly do
you don't believe me,
but this is why it's true

The happy little child,
the one in the red hood
who was visiting her grandma
way out in the wood

She'd didn't stray from the path
like the fable goes
in fact the child never picked
a solitary rose

The girl in the red hood
whose name was never known
was terrified of the forest
and rather stay at home

but her mother and father hated her
and yes she knew why
Little Hood was scared of everything
always dis she cry

So her most unloving parents
thought to make her brave
never telling her, her fear
was the source of all their rage

This child was kicked out of her house
the one place she called home
and suddenly the woods
became where she must roam

No, there was no grandma
no Haven in which to rely
still from that path she dare not stray
else, no hope to survive

but slowly her little body
began to wither away
slowly she couldn't even
keep her fears at bay

Now usually in a 'fairy tale'
this is where our knight comes in
to save our helpless child
when things are oh so grim

but no one came to help her
she was out there on her own
to wonder the endless forest
dispirit and alone

Now the wolf I must not forget
to mention in this tale
'cause it didn't eat the child
she was too sick, too frail

Though this was not a kind wolf
could've eaten her, and would
but she wasn't worth the trouble
so it chased her out its wood

So now that you know the truth
I hope it's plain to see
The reason I hate fairy tales,
that little girl was me

You twisted the tale very well. The poem really shows you that there are no fairytales in life. Only ones you read about in books. It is a very well constructed poem. It flowed very well, and i can see that you took time on it. Thank you for entering. i cant wait to see if any more will trickle in before Friday. well very good job.

Forever Sleeping.

A daughter was born
In a beautiful kingdom,
Child to the King and Queen.
She goes by the name of Aurora,
Full of beauty and with grace.

A joyful day this was supposed to be,
Until the witch who entered,
Revealed a plot of horror,
Attempting to commit murder.

I will poison her with a syringe.
Said the sister of the Queen.
Her name was Maleficent,
A vile and cruel being.

Maleficent was a jealous creature,
Jealous of her sister.
For stealing the man she really loved,
And this was her revenge to get her.

"When I poison her, you'll see,
My justice will be served."
I will not allow it. Stop her,
Commanded the worried King.

Maleficent protested,
I will kill her I say.
They brought her to the dungeon,
But then the Witch ran away.

My Queen this will not happen,
Swore the three trusted Godmothers.
Take my baby and save her,
The queen begged and pleaded.

"I promise you my Majesty,
We'll raise her as our own."
The queen thanked the Godmothers,
And forever they were gone.

"We'll hide you and protect you
But you'll live a normal life."
They took Aurora to her new home,
Where she was safe from harm.

Aurora grew up happily,
Until the day she discovered,
The truth about her parents.
Which forced her to run away.

Prince Phillip tried to warn her,
But she was angry and refused.
She did not listen to her love.
Her family was all she wanted.

Maleficent found Aurora,
And posed as her real mother.
Naive Aurora believed her,
And was poisoned by syringe.

Too late was the Prince.
She had already fallen.
He took her to the hospital,
Hoping for a miracle.

The doctors informed him,
Of a tragic, fatal condition.
Although she will not die,
A coma, she was in.

Forever sleeping will she be,
For she can no longer wake.
Nothing could be done ,
To save her from deep sleep.

-nmdoza.
ps. I hope it's not too long :/
