I love this poem. Your descriptions are very beautiful, like i'm staring enraptured at a field of beautiful gems while i'm reading. I feel for poor Snow White...
I love your description of the forest, the river, the castle.
"Atop the exquisite emerald hill,
through the ornate ocean of orchids,
past the alluring azure river,
inside the impressive, intricate castle,
lay the mystical mirror,
displayed on the stone wall"
It's a little heartbreaking how she wishes for a mother only to be stuck with the evil stepmother of nightmares. This reminds me to be more thankful i have a loving mother who does not send hunters after me.
The chanted curse is a warning for Snow White to escape the clutches of her evil stepmother, i don't think she takes pride in being the fairest of them all, unlike the evil queen who would lord it over everyone else. I like how the scenery sort of changes after the mirror answers her. How everything becomes darker, like the forboading forest, the claustrophobic castle the ostentatious orchids. Snow White doesn't seem silly to me for wishing for her mother, even though she chastisises herself. The silver doe that guides her was a nice touch, it kind of reminded me of Harry Potter, but that's because i'm a proud fanatic.
