Question for the Mirror by Sarah Kosel and Rebekah Phillips

“Mirror, Mirror, on the wall,
who’s the fairest one of all?”

Not you nor I nor little Snow White
for princesses too easily take fright

at wolves and apples and spinning wheels
and Rumplestiltskin’s cruel deals.

Bring me the damsels not in distress
who save themselves from villains who oppress,

and don’t show up at Charming’s ball
because they refuse his beck and call.

“Yes, Mirror, Mirror, on the wall,
those of strong heart are the fairest of all.”

  1. I enjoyed hearing you read this at our Open Mic on December 4, Sarah. No one will ever call you or Rebekah "damsels in distress"!
