Poetic Observations-Gretel And Hansel

[Marc]

Finding solace in a fairy tale

Gretel wanted to go into the real world not to fail

When her home life gets the axe

She gets her brother Hansel and pack

Out into the dark woods they venture

Looking for something to sink their teeth into

in surroundings dependent on dentures

Traveling the wooden path

Filled with ugly wrath

They come upon a house

That had a warm feeling like one wanting to bake a mouse

Being fed with information about life

From someone who lost the person who called her his wife

It was an act of killing him self

Due to their daughter who was dealing with mental health

An author put it in a story that seemed ever so gory

Gretel had it read

While Hansel went to bed

Back inside the warm cozy feel

The two decided to enjoy the old ladies’ meal

Deciding to stay

The two came up with a plan to pay

Work Gretel must without any fuss

But as days became weeks

The food made them with very large cheeks

When the two drop their guard

They started to wonder what was underneath the yard

Gretel started the thought did they get caught

Were they in a trap due to the simple point they needed a nap?

Due to the flashy light the message in the film gets lost

making the experience for the teen not worth the cost

Gretel and Hansel should know after viewing the show

It could have been a nice artistic deal

If it just stayed for real
