Nursery Rhymes

Sigh....always the truth in fairy tales...that there are no *they lived happily ever after*....yet there is joy and bliss... the ecstasy of being alive. Your poem is decidedly to the point and quite frighteningly real. Makes me think about a few biblical stories. ~ p.s. Buddha "Even if I knew the world were to end tomorrow, I would plant an olive tree today."-- Francis of Assisi

sometimes the fairytale can become all too real of a nightmare, well written love and hugs JayCee ("Quote:-For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.-Ivan Panin")

Of the fairy-tales, and what I suspect might be an all too real nightmare. As per usual, enigmatic, and worth reading! ~ Gee

I can so relate to this piece but in my case,it is the third daughter. A great write and I cannot find any fault with it. Always, Cat p.s. This is a real heartbreaker.

If you really think about it, some of those things are scary. I enjoyed this very much, but was wondering about this verse. I am the baby Buddha. I need to leave my house. I think it might be wise before the monster comes-a-round. Was in intentionally non-rhyming? It interrupted an otherwise wonderfully rhythmic read. Respectfully, Rett: “Anyone who sacrifices liberty for security deserves neither.” Benjamin Franklin

liked it a lot. Does anyone really think nursery rhymes are for children?....scribbler

Hi Richard, Whoa. I had to ponder this one a while and am glad I did. Your response to Cat told me my take on this was correct. I didn't have the best childhood either although, my brother caught most of my Dads anger. I got my Moms, but, she didn't hit as hard! Very nice job, addressing a not nice topic, in a very unique way. You do that well. Sue

love this write richard and nursery rhymes, although in pretence for children, are really little snippits of history (eg, 'ring a ring a rosie' is about the plague) so i don't agree that they really are for them - never told my own kids too many of them - preferred to read dr seuss (is that how you spell him'?) or rhold Doul my kids loved rhold's little red riding hood - she had a gun in her knickers - much more fun than the version where granny is eaten by the wolf..... which supposedly is about witches i believe... love judy xxx http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TwentyMyPrettyPonies.html
