The Evil Queen Speaks to Her Magic Mirror: An Original Fairy Tale Poem

More than fifteen years ago, I began work on a collection of rhyming fairy tale poems. I’ve never submitted the collection to a publisher. Still, I have enjoyed writing—the mostly humorous—poems. Some of the poems are written as soliloquies, some as conversations, some as letters, and some as classified ads. I used to do an extensive unit on traditional literature in my second grade classroom.
