Dana meets her prince
She knows he's the one
She is his princess
They dance all night at the ball
With eyes only for each other
They will be together forvever
He puts the ring on her finger
Then he says "I do."
She says it back with love
They live in the castle
For the rest of their lives
They are quite happy
They have children
With naught but a kiss
They express their love
Author notes
I was tying to express that gay marriage isn't a fairy tale and it takes away the from the romance of "one man, one woman."

Thank you for commenting and have a nice day, everyone!

surely you can still have this with the same sex. im a little confused about what point you are making. . . that gay relationships cannot be fairytales? I think millions would beg to differ

I don't think you read my author's notes, but my point is that straight marriage is the fairy tale.

Ok...it was a good poem. I just have one question...if romance between a man and woman is so sacred then why do we have television shows like the bachelor/bachelorette, and the rest of the dating shows along with a very high divorce rate.

People don't want to stay and work out their relationships and those shows are all about ratings

yeah they are but they exploit marriage and they take away from the "fairytale" that you described in the poem. I dont think you get where I'm coming from....marriage isn't sacred, look at Brittney spears...even politicians, "Christian" conservative politicians like Newt Gengrich...go to wikipedia and type his name in and look at his marriages.

I see your point, and it is a logical one. What's interesting with gay marraige is, when all is said and done (I mean, every point brought up in one side can be counteracted by the other - yes, even this one!) whether or not you believe it in really all depends on if you believe it is a choice or if you believe it's something you are born with.
As for the poem itself, I think it's rather superficial - it's a happily ever after story. What I would fix in that is to add a little depth into the story - It's a he did - she did scenario, which is fine, but express some emotion. If you're saying gay marraige destroys that romance, you should expound on that romance...give me a romantic feeling.
Thank you for having the bravery to express your opinion. Well done, and thank you for entering my contest.

I really do think it's a choice. And I happen to like happy endings.
