Gretel's Adventure

Hansel and Gretel – the fantasy poem
copyright 2013 by jon gutmacher

Hansel and Gretel
ah, so young
in the forest
having fun
picking berries
from the brush
tasting each
not in a rush

Deeper, deeper
both do go
deep in forest
they should know
not to do
what they have done
now shadows grow . . .
the night will come

Suddenly lost
no path but trees
Gretel falls
upon her knees
“Hansel, what will we do now?
“I fear we’re lost
“I don’t know how”

Then a clearing
begins to grow
a joyous light
a wondrous glow
coming closer
what to see?
a candy cottage
How can that be?

Out of nowhere
an old woman there
invites them in
they have no care
gives them lots of things to eat
suddenly
they fall asleep

Wake to find them
in a cage
no escape
and quite afraid
the old woman now
a witch, you see
feeds them daily
just candy

Gretel is now
made a slave
does witches bidding
while always chained
while Hansel is kept
within the cage
getting fatter
his life unmade

Each day the witch
checks Hansel out
feels his finger
getting stout
waiting for the fat to grow
then she’ll cook him
really slow

Hansel knows
the witch can’t see
her eyesight is bad
as it can be
so he tricks her
with a bone
“It’s way too lean”
the witch does moan

But after days
and days go by
her hunger grows
and that’s no lie
she heats the oven
very hot
so she can cook them
on the spot

But Gretel senses
what will come
she must act now
she cannot run
the oven’s burning
ah, so hot
the witch tells Gretel
to check the slot

“Go open the door”
“See if the embers are red”
“I’ll bake a pie”
That’s what she said
But in her mind
the witch does know
that when Gretel opens the oven
her foot will go
and push Gretel in
and cook her good
a tasty child
cooked over wood

But Gretel fakes
she does not know
how to open the oven
fast or slow
and the witch
who’d take her life
bends to show her
while she holds a knife

And Gretel sees
what she has planned
pushes evil witch in
and lets her land
inside the oven
then locks its door
the witch is burned
and is no more

Gretel then releases Hansel
they both are saved
and leave the cottage
no longer slaves
and make it back
to whence they came
Yes . . .

Hansel and Gretel
that was
their name

Should I Trust this.....

the queen makes a third and final attempt on Snow White by disguising herself as a farmer's wife, and offering a poisoned apple to her. The girl is at first hesitant to accept it, so the queen cuts the apple in half, eating the white (harmless) half and giving the red poisoned half to Snow White. But should she trust this woman she has never seen before?Is it safe?

Meralyn's Abduction

Her beauty, known throughout the world, none existing or even comparing to it, many ventured to her land, seeking her hand of marriage but none she found worthy.
Many promising her, fame, money - - everything but what her heart truly desired and that was a loyal heart only to her.
This evening 'twas her 16 birthday and it was high time in her fathers eyes she were wed.So he arranges a ball and invites all the eligible Lords he knew were looking for a suitible mate.Some from as far away as Egypt one in particular a Sultan he had befriended and thought highly of.Everyone came to the ball if only to catch a glimpse of her renowned beauty and everyone vied for her attention but no more so than the Sultan whom she rebuffed at every turn.Angering him to the point of madness.So he steals away from the party and awaits his chance and takes it!

Meralyn can not believe that is was just this past eve that she was dancing and enjoying her party before she was so cruelly ripped from her castle home.Thrown unceremoniously onto the back of the Sultan's horse and spirited away in the dead of night by The very man her father had only just recently shared a commradery with.
Having rode all day in the cruel desert wind which whipped and tore at her hair until it was all in shambles with very little remained of her carefully executed braids.Her moon pale skin hot and flushed from the tormenting desert sun and her legs aching from being forced into the side saddle pose on his horse.
Now as the sun begins to set they finally come to an oasis.The Sultan sets up a tent and puts out chairs and cushions for some symblance of civility and tries to coax her off the horse to join him for his evening sup.unwilling tho she may be to even entertain anything that would give HIm pleasure she had to admit the wine and fruit looked very tempting.Her stomach grumbling in protest to no food at all for the entire day.

Enchantment is Here!!!! The new round opened Saturday, August 12th and will run thru the 31st!!Come join in the fun and see all the wonderful creations....Hope to see you there
