Once upon a time,
In a castle far away,
There lived a lovely prince,
Whom I gazed at day to day.
He searched and searched and searched,
Though I was always there.
Why did he never notice me?
Why did he never care?
And one day a princess came,
And she was full of dirt,
And yet no matter how she smelled,
She had something up her skirt.
The queen placed me to suffocate,
Under the mattresses soft.
The princess tossed and turned all night,
And in the morning scoffed.
She blamed me for her painful dreams,
She turned the prince against me.
Her parents locked me away.
I am just a helpless pea.
And one day from in my cell,
I heard the ringing bell.
My lovely prince had married her,
The snob princess from hell.
I love the fact that you made this poem from the pea's point of view. It really adds a unique twist to the story. I also love how the last line contrasts the rest of the poem I a way, with the word 'snob' and 'hell'. They don't necessarily fit with the diction of the poem, but I felt that that was deliberate, and I love the way it paints a picture of the pea's feelings towards the princess.
