---------------------------------------------------------
Cinderella

Her two older step-sisters
Bossing her around
Washing the clothes
Scrubbing the ground

Her step-mum
Doesn't care for her
Nor does her step-sisters
They make her cater

She sits on her bed
At night she cries
Wishing someone will save her
Before she dies

He prince will come
She just doesn't know
For she doesn't believe
That he will show

She is left alone
While they go to the ball
Her fairy god-mother
Will save her, once and for all

She gives her a beautiful dress
A cart for her to get there
She has to be back by midnight
This is her night, not to care

She dances with her prince
But now its time to go
As she rushes out the door
She leaves her glass slipper below

The prince picks it up
And keeps if so he can find her once more
Because he knew she was the one
When she first walked through the door

He searches and searches
Night after night, day after day
He will not give up looking for her
He will find her and get his way

He finally finds her after awhile
Her knight in shining armor
He rescued her from her horrid step-mum
As she walked down the altar

Plz reserve me, "Jasmine"

Xx The Little Mermaid xX

Down below the waves where the sea folk live
Where the plants grow on the ocean floor
Where the fish play instead of the birds
And there's no such thing as fighting or war

In the deepest spot of the ocean
Is the grand palace of the sea king
He had six and lovely daughters
Who would so enchantingly sing

The six princesses were beautiful girls
But the youngest was the loveliest sight
Eyes such a deep blue and hair so red
And a smile so gorgeous and bright

But like her sisters she had no feet
But a shimmering aqua fish tail
As beautiful as the angel fish
And as strong as the great blue whale

Outside the palace were stunning gardens
Where all the flowers grew with pure love
And when the sea was calm and quiet
You could see the sun shining up above

Each princess had a small charming plot
Where she could grow flowers, plants and trees
Plant vines, place statues, a coral reef
She could decorate how she pleased

The youngest had an unusual plot
And she spend all of her free time there
With a statue of a handsome prince
Who received all of her love and care

The grandmother told the little mermaid
"The day that you reach the age fifteen
You'll be able to rise up from the ocean
And see great things that you've never seen"

The youngest had to wait five long years
For her turn to see the sun drenched land
Feeling so wistful when her sisters spoke
Of the wonders they'd seen and found

The eldest spoke of the cities and towns
Where all of the lights twinkled like stars
She spoke of the music and ringing bells
And the commotion from the motorcars

The second spoke of the pretty sunset
Painting the clouds red and pink in the sky
She watched the swans fly toward the sunset
With a contented and happy sigh

The third sister was the boldest one
She swam up a river to a quiet creek
Where she saw some children splashing about
Who saw her and ran, too scared to speak

The fourth one was not so venturesome
And she stayed far away from the shore
She played with the dolphins and porpoises
Until she was too tired to play anymore

The fifth sister was the next one to go
In the winter time with the snow and ice
She saw countless, luminous ice bergs
And she rode atop the biggest one twice

The sisters took great delight in swimming
Up to the surface and feeling so free
But they always became nostalgic for home
And longed to be back beneath the sea

On evenings when they rose up together
The youngest sister had to stay behind
But a mermaid has no tears to cry with
So it just looked like she did not mind

But at long last she reached the age
Where she could climb up to the surface
The sun had set and the air was fresh
It was such a calm and peaceful place

The little mermaid saw a ship sail by
Where there was cheerful music and more
And fireworks bursting up in the sky
Each one as bright as the one before

On the deck was a very handsome prince
Whose birthday it was on that lively night
But suddenly a storm blew over the sea
And all of the crew on board gave fright

Waves rose high and the dark clouds gathered
Forks of lightning flashed in the distance
The ship couldn't handle the angry sea
And the main mast snapped in an instance

The little mermaid saw the peril
Each time the lightning cracked and flashed
She tried to help out the best she could
But the whole entire ship was smashed

The princes eyes remained tightly shut
As the little mermaid kissed his brow
When she heard voices coming toward her
She swam away, what would happen now?

She watched as the prince regained consciousness
And smiled at everyone gathered around
But he never smiled across at her
So she sank down sadly without a sound

She'd always been melancholy and quiet
But now she would not even smile or sing
When her sisters asked what she saw above
She wouldn't tell them a single thing

Many times she visited the palace
Where she had left her beloved prince
But she always returned feeling upset
Because she never caught a single glimpse

Finally she told her eldest sister
Who told her what she needed to know
Hand in hand, they swam to the surface
And her sister showed where she should go...

A palace with stairs leading to the sea
Made of a pale and shimmering stone
It was the most magnificent place
A glorious and spectacular home

Now she knew where her beloved lived
She spent many days and evenings there
Watching her prince with love in her heart
Wishing she could touch his shining hair

There was so much that she wanted to know
About the world and the people above
She sought advice from her wise grandmother
Who asked what she wanted to know of

"I want to know that if men aren't drowned
Do they live on forever or die"
"Yes they die" her grandmother answered
"Except they have souls that travel high"

"We can live until three hundred years old
But then we perish into mere foam
While humans have an immortal soul
And rise up to a heavenly home"

"Can I not win an immortal soul?"
The little mermaid sadly inquired
"I want to share in that heavenly realm
Of the sea I'm getting ever so tired"

"The only way to secure your own soul
Is to win a human mortal heart
He must love you more than anyone
And desire never to be apart"

"But alas my child," the grandmother said
"Human men have such meager taste
They recoil at the thought of our tails
Which gives us all our beauty and grace"

The little mermaid felt her heart sink
As she sat down in her garden alone
What could she do to be with her prince?
How could she win an immortal soul?

Then an idea struck her so suddenly
A way to leave the sea behind her
She would seek help from the great sea witch
But first of all she had to find her

She swam through whirlpools as best she could
And then across the sea witched marsh
Straight toward a terrifying abode
Where lived a witch so dismal and harsh

She finally reached her, feeling so scared
And she opened her mouth to confess
But the sea witch stopped her with a grin
"I know what you want my dear princess"

"It's foolish of you for it will bring grief
But I'll make a drought for you to drink down
But it's irreversible I must stress
It is the strongest potion I've found"

"Before sunrise you must drink it on land
As your tail will divide in two and shrink
It will be painful like a stinging knife
Now do you still want to take this drink?"

"You will still keep your elegant form
No dancer will ever compare to you
But each step will feel like treading on blades
It's your decision, what will you do?"

"But remember once you take human form
You can never be a mermaid again
You must win his heart or become the sea
Are you keen to risk the heartbreak and pain?"

"You'll have to pay me," the sea witch said
"What I want is your melodic voice
You'll win his heart with your looks and grace
Now do you agree? It's all your choice"

"I agree," the little mermaid replied
But her face had turned so very pale
"I will take this risk and drink this drought
Anything for liberty from this tail"

The witch threw ingredients into a pot
And steam swirled up in a thick gray mist
It started to boil, hot and spitting
And the little mermaid clenched her fists

When the drought was ready, it shone so bright
And it glittered in the mermaid's hand
She grasped the bottle and swam up above
Coming to rest on a gold stretch of sand

When the first sun ray burst on the land
The little mermaid swallowed the drought
She felt a sharp unbearable pain
But then she looked down and tried to laugh

Her tail had gone and there in it's place
The loveliest legs seen on any maid
And there in front of her was her prince
But she felt her voice begin to fade

The prince asked who she was and where she lived
But the little mermaid could not speak
So he led her up into the palace
She stumbled, as her new legs were weak

Servants dressed her in rich silky clothes
She was the most fine-looking girl there
The beautiful slaves stepped forward to sing
Bur our mermaid couldn't, it wasn't fair

As the graceful slaves began to dance
The little mermaid smiled and rose
Each move showed off her beauty and poise
As she floated on the tips of her toes

She amazed everyone with her style
The prince said he'd keep her forever more
He took her with him wherever he went
And she slept on a pillow outside his door

But while everyone in the palace slept
She would creep out into the cool night
She would see her sister's arm in arm
Silhouetted so forlorn in the moonlight...

"You're most dear to me," the prince declared
"You look so much like a girl I once saw
Such a beautiful girl who saved my life
After I was shipwrecked and washed ashore"

"She's the only girl I could ever love
But you're so like her, its kind to my heart
She belongs to temple and not to me
It's my good luck you're here, we'll never part"

"Alas he doesn't know, I saved his life"
The little mermaid thought in despair
"I saw the maid he loves more than me
But she didn't save him, it isn't fair"

"But she's owned by the temple, not by him
So they'll never see each other again
It is I he will be with most every day
It is I who'll love him until the end"

Soon rumors arose, the prince was to marry
The daughter of a neighboring king
The rumors told that the prince was glad
But the little mermaid knew the real thing

"I am forced to make this journey," he said
"But I will never marry against my will
So does not resemble my love like you
If I married you, I would be fulfilled"

He kissed her on the mouth so tenderly
And she dreamed of bliss and immortal souls
She laid her head upon his broad chest
And for the first time her heart felt whole

"I trust you aren't afraid of the sea"
He said as they boarded the striking vessel
He kept her close and told her stories
The little mermaid felt loved and special

In the clear moonlight when all was quiet
She sat on the rails and looked out to sea
Her sisters appeared looking so grim
She smiled to show that she was happy

The next day when the ship came to dock
The little mermaid strained to see the princess
She couldn't help but feel ill at ease
Would her beloved prince still love her best?

At last the princess boarded the ship
And the mermaid saw the rumors were true
The princess's skin was clear and fair
Dark lashes framed her eyes of deep blue

"It was you!" the prince cried. "Who saved my life
The maid who saved me from the angry sea"
He smiled with joy at his blushing bride
"I'm as happy as any man could be!"

He told the mermaid, "You'll share my joy?
For you loved me when I was so alone"
But the little mermaid felt her heart break
For the next morn would see her turn to foam

The chapel bells rang out through the streets
And the little mermaid held the brides train
But her thoughts stayed on her last night alive
And she felt her heart constrict with pain

The ship set sail after the couple wed
Brightly colored lanterns lit up the night
The wedding party was loud and merry
The little mermaid danced with all her might

After midnight, the party calmed down
And our little mermaid watched for daybreak
Her sisters suddenly rose form the waves
And her body began to shiver and shake

For there was no sign of their long rich hair
Instead they held a glinting sharp knife
"Before sunrise, strike it in the prince's heart
The sea witch said it would save your life!"

"She took our hair in a way of price
So you can come back to us under the sea
Make haste, one of you will die before morn
It's your decision, which one will it be?"

The mermaid crept to the prince's room
And heard him murmur the name of his bride
The knife trembled in her small pale hand
She knew what she had to do deep inside

She flung herself up and over the rails
As the first sun ray dissolved her to foam
But she did not feel the hand of death
She felt a warm sense of coming home

In the light she saw ethereal spirits
They floated as wingless as the air
The mermaid realized she was like them
And she ascended with a graceful flair

"We strive to gain an immortal soul
By doing good deeds," one softly sighed
"Who are you?" the little mermaid asked
"We're the daughters of the air," they replied

"For three hundred years, we've done what we can
To win a soul and share eternal bliss
We have to put others before ourselves
Which is what you did, despite what you'd miss"

For the first time the mermaid felt tears fall
As she vowed to do all the deeds she could
She looked to where the prince and bride slept
And wished their lives to be happy and good

Unseen by them she kissed them on the heads
And rose with the daughters above at last
"This is the way to the kingdom of God
Where we'll rest after the years have passed"

And so ends the story of the little mermaid
A story of bravery, magic and love
But at last our mermaid has found her peace
A she begins her flight to heaven above

(Have a cookie if you read it all!)

Lol Thank-you Gem, I will be sure to be comfortable when I read it haha :p . And are you still doing the alphabet contest? I just need to know so I can close and judge it. =) Thanks Darling! (L)

Haha Gem thats massive!!! and can i please have Mulan.

Mulan

She may not be the prettiest of all
and she may not be as balanced
maybe she is too skinny
but thats how she was taught to be

so the tea was a disaster
but that wasn't all her fault
it was the cricket that jumped right in
to use it as a hot tub

embarrassed infront of the town
told she would never bring honour
well, there goes her self esteem
lets not kick her while she's down

than a distant beating of drums
rung through the town peoples ears
it was the drum of war
her dad would have to fight again

trying to redeem herself
and to save her father too
she cut off her hair that night
took her dads armor and left

on the back of the black stallion
she rode off to join the army
if she was caught a female,
the penalty was death

so the ansestors sent a guardian
who they thought was the great stone dragon
but a little lizard dragon broke stoney
so he snuk off instead

so Mushu 'helped' Mulan
to be the best guy she could be
but soon enough it crumbled down
when she was forced to leave

she battled a brave journey
stared death in the eyes
she saved the entire of China
but when wounded she was found out

as her and Mushu picked up to leave
they saw the Huns come back
so they raced off to tell the town
but noone would believe Mulan,
it was Ping that had the trust

so again she came face to face with death
as the Huns crashed their celebration
Mulan managed to fight them off
and save the emporer from death

The emperor bowed before her
and told her she has brought great honour
and satisfied with that Mulan went to see her father
who was sitting in their back yard, under a blossom tree

he couldn't believe she was alive
he didn't care about the honour
or the sword of the huns she was given
as he held her in a tight embrace

so she may not be the prettiest
and she may not be too balanced
but she has fought a war
and walked away with honour.

I am so sorry but i must withdraw my entry, i have tried to no avail, and i feel it would be more productive to let someone have my place who will write a good piece.

sorry for the trouble

I'm changing! I want Sleeping Beauty... that used to be a nickname of mine! =]

I'll Try Princess Maddy please!

Sleeping Beauty

In a dark room, lit by the pale moon light,
Sleeping Beauty lays in bed, thinking about what's right.
Fighting the indecision floating around her head -
As with every word he had ever said.

He told her he loved her and that he would forever -
But now he's gone; coming back next to never.
All the promises he broke, the lies that sting;
"Impossible!" she thought, the pain he still brings.

The tears flow down her pale white cheeks -
Only at night will she accept she is weak;
When shadows dance around her white walls,
And no one is there to catch her when she falls.

But he was always there, he was her prince.
She hasn't loved another, there's been no one since.
No one dares to intrude upon this fragile mess;
Laying there, still in her soft pink dress.

She dares not take it off, for fear the memory is fake;
She couldn't live with it if it was a mistake.
The dream that she holds on to, she believes is true:
The last day you were there, the last day she held you.

Of all the memories she holds, it's the one that hurts the most:
How mush she really loves you; how you were so close.
The ending seemed so sudden; she knew that it was wrong,
But how could she fight when she wasn't that strong?

She still loves him, even with her heart broken -
She doesn't regret any words she had ever spoken.
No matter what she does and no matter what you do,
Sleeping Beauty will always be in love with you.
