Quirky Prompt 4: Reverse Fairy Tale


Another big thanks for posting the prompts, Lisa!

Cinderella only loved to clean,
childhood trauma of being alone
the world could be better
when the house is clean
Alas now, her palace
shines polished,
scrubbed to
a golden sheen,
In quiet regret and wistfulness
lying in her lavish boudoir
she prays for a rag
and some soapy water…
