Long ago lived a callous prince
who cared for no one but himself.
One day an old woman asked for shelter,
and the prince slammed the door in her face.

Suddenly the woman revealed
that she was really a beautiful witch.
She put a curse on the prince
they he his outside would reflect his inside.

Until you find someone to love
and to be loved in return
you will remain a beast
for the rest of your days.



I was seventeen when my father
set out to find his fortune.

When he returned
He told me of his travels.

He said that he made a grave mistake
and that I would have to go and live with a beast

I complied,
Because it was for my papa.


When the old man said
he had a daughter
I didn' think she would be so beautiful

No one could ever love
someone as horrendous
as a beast like me.

I shouldn't even try.
She's just my prisoner
and nothing more

He's so shy,
and not nearly as bad as he thinks

Under those looks
is a heart made of gold.

Truly, I wish
he would let me in


She's so kind
how can she stand
a beast like me?

She doesn't flinch
at my touch
and she even looks me in the eye.

I want nothing more
than to let her in,
But will she love me as I love her?

I miss my family,
but I'm happy here.

I don't want to leave
yet I still feel unwelcome

I think soon though
He'll let me in.


It's been months now
and she's still here
maybe she'll stay.

I don't want her to leave
I can honestly say
I think I love her

Maybe one day
she'll be able
to love me to.

He's finally opening up
maybe he realizes that I like him.

No I don't like him
I love him


I can't keep her
locked up here
she needs to be free

He's letting me go
Maybe he doesn't love me


I love her

I love him

She can never love
a beast like me

Maybe I was wrong
He can't love a plain girl like me


Goodbye my love.

Goodbye my beast.

Hi! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>
I love the way you made the poetry <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h…" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart"/>
And also the way you made the characters alternate with their words.
I saw an error though it's still okay <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>
Sometimes I get a little confused on who will talk and who will not. You shouldn't under line the three first verses, I'll try to suggest that you'll use these: " "
It was a very interesting piece, I' am also writing a same story but not as a poem (I'm not very good with poems) <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..."/>
I'm searching here in DA about 'the beauty and the beast' I would like to create an interesting piece such as yours.
Nonetheless you've made a pretty nice job <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n…" width="35" height="31" alt=":#1:" title="#1"/>
