The Princess Game by ~IceEnchantress09:iconIceEnchantress09:

Categories Contests > 2008 > Villainous Villanelles


The Princess Game

Suffer, suffer, suffer in my name!
Deep under mattresses is where I lay
For eternally I play the princess game

Very few think me, the pea, to blame
Yet I commit myself to it every day
Suffer, suffer, suffer in my name!

Every time my goal is the same
To constantly disturb my sleeping prey
For eternally I play the princess game

So many girls fail their most brazen claim
Taking them out has become my forte
Suffer, suffer, suffer in my name!

One day they will find one, or so they aim
"Nah, nah ne nah, nah!" I boldly say
For eternally I play the princess game

So which girl now will I put to shame?
Who cares really, it's time to play
Suffer, suffer, suffer in my name!
For eternally I play the princess game

A delayed entry for the Villainous Villanelles Contest. See here: [link]

So I actually wrote several drafts of several different poems for this contest. This final draft, humorously enough, was the result of the challenge of a classmate to enter a taunt into the poem itself. I readily accepted his challenge, and this is what came of it. I will be submitting the other poems as regular deviations, and submitting them to my school's literary magazine. Anyway, I'll hope that everyone enjoys this and wishes me luck!

Meh, I've never really been one for princesses. So when said princesses are rendered sleepless by villainous peas, I mostly just laugh how spoiled they are. This is okay, and pretty funny, but poetry has never really been my thing, and I don't care for the fairy tale it's based on, either... But overall I kinda like it... it's funny, at the very least. My opinion is probably biased, though. I really just don't like the fairy tale.

I never understood that story, my auntie once slept on a matress with a dead spider underneath it and didn't notice so the pea thing never seemed believable...but it's just a story anyway... :(

Princess should be about the kingdom fighting bandits to avenge her father's death, not sleeping around on a stack of matresses! hehehe

Haha no kidding... I think the point they were trying to make was that the princess was sensitive and refined... and something about fragile too on some level... they were crazy people back then lol

Haha apparently I picked a bad fairy tale overall. It's okay. I just found the idea of a villanous pea in general funny... and a friend said I couldn't include that taunt so I proved him wrong lol. Anywho, thanks for the input!
