Bashful – Poem inspired by Snow White
Bashful was inspired by Walt Disney’s film version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. (1937)
When I saw her stretched across the tidy beds,
love’s potent sword struck my heart before I knew
who this lovely stranger was or one word said.
But I remained silent, as I always do.
With one bite, she fell ill on that dreadful day.
In a glass coffin, it hurt to see her lay.
I longed to kiss her ruby lips but froze.
Joy but regret: the prince woke her and betrothed.
Bashful was inspired by Walt Disney’s film version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. (1937)
