LIFE IS NOT A FAIRYTALE

HAIKU

Read to Me: 
 Gentle Voices, 
 Connected to story 
 Within us and without us 


 Fairy Tales: 
We all have moments 
 That change us forever 
Your time has come at last 



 Sleeping Beauty: 
 There is nothing to fix, 
You aren't broken, just 
 Waking from a long sleep 

 
Little Mermaid: 
I'm sorry dear, 
He just isn't worth it 
Your depth is beyond his ken 

 
Snow White: 
Your friends will sustain you 
Until you are strong enough 
To stand alone 

 Cinderella: 
He cannot save you 
Kick off the other shoe and 
Stride into the world 

 Literary Analysis: 
Weave meaning and virtue 
Into each story, complete 
Then close the book
