Fairy Tale

I chose to write about Fairy- Tale Logic by A.E Stallings. When I read this poem it
sends be back to the fairy tale stories that I read as I was growing up, it puts you in a place of the dragons and trolls and man eating goats. In a way it can make you wonder what it could be like to be in a world like that. At the same time maybe we are. In today’s world it can be like that maybe not man eating goats, but like some people say a “dog eat dog” world. It can be a struggle to be to in today’s world, but at the same time there is some magic today like falling in love with someone that could be your prince or your princess. For some it can be selecting a “prince from a row of identical masks” or kissing a bunch of frogs before finding the prince.
No one will ask you to hand over your firstborn, but then again it may feel like that if you have a lot of debt and feel like you are trying to swim but can hardly keep your head above water or you are trying to take “a leaky boat over a sulfuric lake”, though that is something I would not suggest or would even want to try. You feel like you have to do something to rise above everything and have something up your sleeve or in that magic hat. If life were anything like a fairy tale we would be able to wave our magic wand and fix everything within a blink of a eye. You can often relate something in everyday life to a fairy tale that you have once read or heard at least once in your life. With every will there is a way.
