Every Monday,

After school,

Papa brings all of us;

Hazel

Lila

Rowan

Baby Arlo (who’s actually three by now)

And me

If to be a sonnet is to be vain, then to be a sonnet is to be a friend. 

If to be a limerick is to be laughed at, then to be a limerick is to be a child. 

The assignment is due in a couple months

Will the results be good or bad?

Either way I have plenty of time

I’ll work on it later.

1 month left

Once upon a time,

the princesses got tired.

They were done

they deserved to be.

And the fairies

that the fairy tales were about,

the fairies

that were written out

with their striking beauty

I don’t like the word chivalry

The spelling

The sound

And what it means

Be chivalrous and put women first!

Can’t we just be treated as equals?

I think it’s dumb

A prince in shining armor

She’s always happy

I know that’s what they think

She wouldn’t hurt a fly 

That, too

Sometimes they don’t think

That it’s hard for me too

That I don’t always want to be the nice
