Fable Tales #Poetry #30PoemChallenge

We all have our own fables

Our own sweet cautionary tales

Of lives & hearts being led astray

Or tales of triumph against all odds

 

The lessons we have learnt

Or maybe not at all

The deep dark woods we must avoid

And strangers that would like to eat us!

 

To not judge by appearances

But let our heart guide us true

We must be kind as well – to all!

Or very, very, very nasty things could happen

 

Terrifyingly these fables are often true

But have different characters

You will not see a lion or hare to tortoise

But a man being cruel to a woman

Or a sad injustice that gets neglected

 

Listen to fables carefully

You might just notice someone you know.
