Cinderella?

As a hardcore fan of Cinderella, I will tell you know that I was quite impressed with this poem. You've got such vivid imagery, and when I read it, it is as if the movie was coming alive in my mind. However, I don't really understand why you've made out Cinderella's actions to be demonic. She didn't think that what she was doing was wrong, and the prince certainly wasn't evil. Also, why was this poem in italics?

Anyway, this was some very nice work-it is definitely one of my favorite poems here on YWS. Do me a favor and PM me if you post anything new, alright?

Cheers,

Hi.
I have just one thing to say about your poem-Wow!
It was beautifully written and gives a deliciously dark twist on the much-loved, if a little worn out, classic.
Your imagery was strong and the poem flowed really well. It's so nice to see proper punctuation as well!
I really loved your poem.
Please PM me a link to any thing else you put on here as I think your poetry is beautiful.
Thanks for the read.

Hey there.

Wow. Such strong, vivid imagery and it flowed brilliantly! *clicks 'like'* It has such a dark twist to the usual Cinderella story. I love it! I couldn't help smiling while I read it.

Thanks for making me smile and for such a beautifully dark and twisted poem.

Wow. That. Was. Amazing.
It was written beautifully, and I'm not being biased because I LOVE the story of Cinderella.
Grrr....I'm jealous. Haha if I were you, I'd publish that or something. Like in a newspaper that takes poems. It was amazing. Really.

Hey there!
I have to admit that I did enjoy the imagery and some of the questions that were asked here and the poem kind of became a very artistic use of language. However, my personal opinion was that I wasn't quite attached to this poem emotionally and I felt that I should've been. I think an improvement would've been to take the concept of cinderella and try and manipulate the language so it effected your readers in a way that they come away thinking, "I've experienced that." Do you know what I mean? I think it just lacked that little bit.

However, overall, hats off to you. This is an extremely well written poem.

This is beautiful. I too have had that thought that Cinderella's deeds were of the evil sort. If you have ever read the original Cinderella not the Disney one, you would see that the wonderful fairygod mother is made out to almost be a witch. Cinderella's way of getting the prince is cheating in a way. I love your point of veiw and word choice. PM me if you post anymore ok?

Wow, it's been a long time since a poem hit me as hard as yours did. I agree with everyone else on the imagery front. Such powerful images with so few words. It takes skill to do that and you have skill, certainly. At first glance, I thought some of the lines, especially with the demons and hell, may have seemed a bit too extreme but no, I do find that they fit well. Your grasp of language and hidden meaning is beyond me, and that's a good thing. Please write more. And when you do, let me know ^^

Wow, I love this poem, it's beautiful, I love dark twist in it, One of my favourites here on YSW
Could you PM me if you write something new?
