Hi Syl,
Thanks for finding the time to read my little ditty. I'm surprised you don't remember that Sleeping Beauty was poisoned by the Wicked Queen because the queen's magic mirror (which the hermaphrodite made) informed her that she was no longer the most beautiful in the land so the witch poisoned Sleeping Beauty with a doctored apple. The muse hit me when I saw apple, Sleeping Beauty, mirror, etc. Right out of the fairy tale. Glad you liked it. Larry ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
