 Little Miss Muffet has grown up
On curds and whey, she does not sup;
She loves The Munsters on TV...
Spider webs, her fave sight to see.
Miss Muffet has long unwashed hair
It grows and grows, she does not care;
No suitors keep her company...
Spider webs, her fave sight to see.
She likes her spiders all the same
For each she has a cute pet name;
She talks to them while sipping tea...
Spider webs, her fave sight to see.
Miss Muffet enjoys solitude
She only needs her spider brood;
Snow White has learned to leave her be...
Spider webs, her fave sight to see! |

I'm not a big fan of spiders, but your poem is very cool, Rick. I love what I call "character" poems. I've thought several times about gathering some of mine to use in a fantasy novel, or at least a chapbook.

Thank you, Dan! In 2015 I started writing alternate versions of classic characters and a year later began creating my own ... I hope you do write a fantasy novel or chapbook about some of yours |

Rick,
Your stories are Doors for me ...
Reminds me of a saying-
The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious.
If you have a deep scar, that is a door,
if you have an old, old story, that is a door.
If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it,
that is a door.
If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
