A small town in Maine


Once, there was a time,

a town stood somewhere in Maine.

Everything seemed fine.

And the people there seemed sane.


At least until you got there

and asked the people things like,

if of their lives they were aware

and what stuff they did hide.


Then you would always get to hear,

I don't remember that.

Until you could no longer bear

the meaningless, always same chats.


The town's people in Storybrooke

cause that was how it's called

they were so strange cause they were cooped

and that not by a wall.


A curse was what had brought them here

from the land they had called their home

they didn't go without a tear

got ripped out of the lives of their own.


The one to cast this wicked curse

they'd called her the Evil Queen

and whatever you think, trust me, it was worse,

the worst you'll have ever seen.


She did it because she wanted revenge!

On someone whose name was Snow White.

Snow, too, she wasn't all innocent

Disney did not get that right.


But anyway! Regina, the Queen,

in this town the mayor she was

now happier than she had once been

because of this son of hers.


She adopted him, ten years ago,

because of the hole in her heart

they'd been happy, eight years in a row,

but now they had it quite hard.


And so her son found his mother,

the blood related one

she was now for him all that mattered

her name was Emma Swan.


He told her she was supposed to be

a savior of some kind

her believing, he thought, was the key

to break the curse; how was undefined.


So she decided to stay.

That made her Regina's enemy

who thought she'd take her son away

and that she would do it with glee.


The first season of this series

is all about these things

about love and hope

and family

revenge

and what it all brings.


Sooo... thanks for reading!

I'd be more than happy about reviews, also to know if anyone is interested in another poem ;)
