Notes: At first I was going to go in a totally different direction with this, but suddenly Cinderella popped into my mind, and the following poem was created. It's a little sad, a little morbid, but the language makes me happy.
*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*
Moonlight ticking up the clock,
Nine, Ten, Eleven
Almost Twelve.
Close, near, not far at all.
A luminous ball,
Gonna dance all night?
Only a wish, but the spell
Won't last forever.
Twirl, spin, waltz.
Sparkle, laugh, live.
Two shiny shoes,
One prince to love.
Ticking, Tocking.
Moonlight creeping up
A clock.
Midnight, Midnight!
Run, dash, flee.
Dress dissolving,
Pumpkins crumbling,
Magic Ending.
Pretty lil' shoes,
Not so great for speed.
Trip, Crash, Fall.
He found her body at midnight.
