Life is Not a Fairy Tale — It’s a ‘Fairy Tail’
Day 4 poetry prompt

seems merely a day ago life is just about elves and fairies, and mermaids
looks like quite last night or so time is still over dragons and princes and princesses
shows as if a wink or two destiny is reading around Alice, Cinderella, Beauty, and Beast
feels only a second back then forth my soul is keeping a thought next to wishing I would be with you
Lo and behold! it’s not really ‘‘life is not a fairy tale’’ it’s a ‘fairy tail’ come true
for I can be in sync with you, whiff and sip the scent of my poesy there I’d be right in front of you!
Once upon a time, and that was long ago when I do love to read a lot of fairy tales, though I haven't been to all of the places I dreamed of, I am so much grateful to my parents, as they opened me to lifelong adventures.
Guess how? By exposing me to the amazing fairy tales’ escapades.
You should, too, with your kids. They can boost a child’s imagination, gear them up to face life’s real trials, and mostly lull them to a night of deep and pleasant dreams and sleep.
Then and now, I am still endeared as I feel I am old enough to start reading fairy tales again.
Come on, will you read with me today through my poetry pieces?
As a quote from Walt Disney says,
“Laughter is timeless, imagination had no age, and dreams are forever.”
This poetic piece is a responder to my friend, Sahil Patel’s 4th day prompt,
“Life is a game of ups and down. Life is not a fairy tale. Life is a tale of reality.”- Sahil Patel
I do hope I have given justice to it. You can refer to the link undermentioned:
