she’ll beat you when able
they saw her just the other day
but like some imperfect card trick
she disappeared in the shuffle
she was a jack of all trades
trapped in a queen’s body
banished from the castle
like some common outlaw
her transformation surprised
yet inspired the locals
swapping stories how she
easily slipped past the
king’s final outposts
some say on certain nights
her newly born image sparkles
like diamonds on the silver screen
december two thousand sixteen

Well hot damn, isn’t this awesome.

I’m picturing this being played out with Barbie dolls, FYI. 😉
haha very good – you have a vivid imagination. thanks again for stopping by and sharing your thoughts!
The part about the magic trick and the ending imagery are my faves.
As Don and Glen said, the queen of hearts is always your best bet
yes, indeed!
