You're hilarious... I'm glad you won the contest. I won french fries at McDonald's today. I rather have a prince, but he'll have to win me. Maybe I should play around on Match.com. Fantastic work.

Congratulations on a fine win. This poem was nicely penned and nicely presented. I've often wondered, if everything came undone at the stroke of midnight, why did the glass slipper not change back too. Poetic license I suppose.

Gerald, thanks for the kind words. I fear you're in for a lot of disappointment if you expect fairy-tales to be logical! :O)

I love the way you told the entire story in acrostic style. And to top it off, it had rhythm and rhyming to add to it making it excellent work.

This is light, airy a nice change from some of the heavier stuff. Who can resist a Disney classic? Well done and good luck!

Thanks for the review - don't know if Disney deserves the credit for this tale, though! :O)

Enchanting. You used the acrostic formatting quite well and told the complete story of Cinderella. Not an easy thing to do. Congratulations. good luck in the contest.

This meets the contest requirements splendidly! You have titled it correctly and executed the piece with rhythmic flow and poetic artistry. If more folks wrote them like this perhaps it would not be considered such a trite write by the masses. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you so much for sharing this with me.

Thank you MA

I do like to at least give my acrostics decent rhyme and meter.

I have quite a little series of these fairy-tale ones now. The main challenge here was the few etters to work with....

You told the story perfectly. Such a wonderful fairy story and told in so few words. Very cleverly done. Loved the last line...tra-la-la strike up the band. Perfect. Good luck in the contest with this. I thought it was just superb. Genya

I think this is a great entry into the acrostic contest.
You tell the whole story in the ten lines it takes to spell her name, the poem has a nice meter to it and good rhing couplets.
Best of luck.

Yep, that's the way the story goes.. You notice they never come back with a sequel showing their life with two or three little princes running around... Wonder why that is??
Well done with your entry, Buck

Wouldn't want too much toilet training and baby vomit in a fairy-tale, now would we?
