Cinderella ~ Perhaps Not

Weaving tendrils
caressing frame

flowing gown
to ignite flames

behind the mask
denying fame

leave I must
before I'm shamed

never knowing
Duckarella's thy name.

      thanks for the comment my dear friend, I enter the contests mainly to challenge my muse to write in different styles and from various prompts, sometimes a contest inspires me to write more than one piece and then I only enter the piece that fits the given rules etc even if it is not as good as the other.

      lol, in the image it looked like a yellow beak similar to Donald and Daisy, so my thoughts ran that way. glad you see the humour in it.

      I had trouble trying to get the cinderella angle out of my head when I saw the image, so just let the muse adapt the tale. The rhyme just seemed to fit the theme, glad you liked it.
