Oral Tradition

My mother is a fairy tale
a fable that never happened
She's the story no one will tell me
so I whisper her to myself in the dark
until I fall asleep.

My mother is a folklore of blood and fire
an interdiction teaching me what lurks in my shadows
so I can be a moral lesson to others
when I do wrong.

She is no happy ending
happily never after;
we her sons are brothers, grim.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. (And so's your icon!)

Our fairy tales are
real, grim, gory, full of blood;
they began with her.

Ah! This is wonderful. I follow a lot of poetry comms, and I didn't even realize it was fanpoetry until I was trying to figure out the author. Awesomely done. (:

This is the best sort of compliment, truly. Thank you ♥

Wonderfully done. <3

Thank you! ♥ And no, I hadn't posted it there yet--I planned on it eventually, but tend to test the waters of my flist first, heh.
