If my porcelain chipped away 

I could step outside in May 

Watch my skin turn copper tint 

And wonder where Snow White went

If my hair lost its raven streak 

Goldilocks wouldn't seem so weak

We'd share a roar like a lioness 

And men would never second guess

If my legs extended long 

Ariel would weep in song 

My eyes could match another's gaze

My toes could rest in their place

A wonderful tale of what if, told in soft voice, with a luxurious flow of longing.
Beautiful words. Thank you for sharing.

This is definitely one of my favorite poems I've read on this site. I believe you submitted it in a previous contest of mine, before the one you just won. It stuck out to me and I was very tempted to make it the winner of that contest, so I was thrilled when you submitted it into another contest of mine. I'm so glad to make you the featured writer of The Unknown Network and I hope to read more of your work, as I'm sure I will love it. You have a true talent and I hope you come to recognize it. x
