@Liminality , Thanks a lot for stopping by. It means a lot ^^ I'm happy my first try was a hit.


@SteamingMizuna , idk if you know the song "Sit Still Look Pretty" by Daya, but that's where I got the inspiration for those lines. I'm glad you loved it.

2. | A Good Chocolate Frosting

Image

In search of what made
A good chocolate frosting,

I snuck
Into the palace kitchen

And that's where
I learned the secret

Boil sugar too much,
Bitter taste will form.
Cook chocolate too hot,
Burned taste will form.

But when its done just right,
Watch out for the hot pan.

Pour it on the cake,
Chill it in the fridge
For even a few minutes
It stiffens and

Then you get that
good chocolate frosting hit.
Not too sweet, nor bitter.
Just right, like life’s sprinkles
On top.

I realised that
Like frosting,
Life is the same

With just the right amount
of positivity,
Great mindset
and creativity
Anything is possible

Sometimes burnt sugar will come,
But think of it like caramel,
not like a ruin
And just move on

Then you’ll taste it,
A good chocolate frosting
On your slice of life

~ Princess February

Spoiler! :
What a cute poem! I love using strange metaphors to tell a story, and using chocolate frosting as a symbol for positivity definitely fits the bill. This poem is a delight to read, good job! ^^

3. | Always Ginger Cotton Floss
Inspo: 3| Delicate - Taylor Swift

Image

Cotton Floss
Oh so sweet
Like fluffy clouds
It’s a dream

But when you add
Ginger
Then it turns reality
The sharpness
It hits hard
And deep

I wanna dream
For me
Not allowed
Too soon

Never allowed to taste
That dream
Always ginger to
Keep me sane

How I wished
To taste that sin
Had to repent
Even before committed

Secrets
Were for the best
What a delicate
Taste
That cotton floss

Yet sharing was
Mandatory
Promises to a sweet future
Gone

It was
Always ginger cotton floss

Which ruined it all
My perfect fluffy dream

~ Princess February

Spoiler! :
Ooh, this is an interesting poem! The idea of cotton floss that tastes bitter instead of sweet to keep you grounded. I have to ask, though, what inspired your line breaks? Was it syllable count?

Hey Wist! I didn't really have inspiration for the line breaks, I just thought it sounded nice and chill with the breaks like that :) Thanks for stopping by <3

4| A Glowing Candle Fades

Image

Like a candle
Life is short


Once majestic
With head high
Like a carefree girl
With a smile


But when it starts
Melting
But when she gets
Older


You know
The end is getting
Nearer and nearer
The responsibilities
Are going to wipe away
That smile


In exactly
two minutes
It’ll all be
Over
In about
Two years
She’ll wear
The crown


The flame
Fighting for
A little more
Time
The flame keeps
Her going
A little more


The wind singing
That dancing flame
with a sword
Stubborn
But risky
With a lust for life
The wind once again,
Little girl
Enjoy the flowers,
Live your life
For it’ll soon be
Impossible


~ Princess February

Spoiler! :
Ooh that last poem was very emotional, but I really liked it. I love this thing where you are using the acronym! It is very creative. I thought you first poem was really beautiful. Keep going! You got this!

5| Amazing Girlfriends Can Fail
Inspo: Style - Taylor Swift
Me - Taylor Swift (feat. Brendon Urie - Panic at the Disco)


Image

A glass slipper,
A kiss or
A mesmerising voice
Choose Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

None of them
Defines me

I’m not that girlfriend
That’ll follow you into
Your daydream

Not your Cinderella
Not your Sleeping Beauty
Nor your little mermaid

I know
There’s a lotta
Amazing
Girlfriends
Out there

But there’s no way
You’ll find the perfect fit

I’ll never call you my
Princess

My queen
Is what you are
My respect
Is what you deserve

I know
Amazing girlfriends
Can chatter

I don’t want the perfect fit
I just want your secret smile


My smile?
I’m a dancer in
The rain
Daughter of the
forest

I make mistakes
I’m gonna bore you

I’m not the one
You’re searching for

I’m just a simple girl
Underneath all that
Glimmer of
A princess

And even I
Can crash

My smile
Is not special
It’s a painting
Unfortunately

With your permission
I’m willing to be
Your dance partner
The one that takes
Your hand

I wanna give it a try
Mistakes will come
Boredness will also lurk

Failure will try
In my eyes
With you
It won’t stand a chance

Yet, I’m willing to
Give up everything and
Make that painting reality


~ Princess February & The Prince
