Much before I met her,
I could infer,
I was green and small
Just an inch and half tall
It would not be long since
One day I would be a Prince
And someone, I knew,
Would be in love with me too!
My world was so tiny and dark
A corner of the neighborhood park
I peeped at the passersby
A yellow butterfly
Would nag me
Tease me
And ask- touch me
Why won’t you try!
But I knew
It wasn’t you,
I just let it be-
As the summer mellowed in melancholy!
The heart ached-
Not knowing why!
As I saw the starlit night
And the flitting firefly!
It was soon cold, a time
To sleep alone
Below a big stone!
Chirp, chirp, wakey!
A sparrow befriends me
To croak along
With her song!
In my little pool
By the white toad-stool
Stood my Princess
In a green wedding dress,
An inch and half tall
Waiting for the spring ball
A spectacle-
Predicted by the Oracle!
What do you think- do miracles happen every day?

Miracles do happen every day. Every breath we breathe is a miracle. You are a good poet. At least I enjoy it.
A fun take on a classic fairy tale!
