For Want of a Petal

by J.V. Cockerill

A tale as old as time, a beautiful girl stolen away who learns to love the man inside the monster. All she has to do is declare her love before the last petal falls.
Fourth in J.V. Cockerill's series of horrifying takes on traditional fairy tales, in For Want of a Petal we see what happens when a spell-breaking declaration of love comes just that little bit too late.

Could've been longer, or at least more cohesive and with a better sense of rhythm and rhyme. Very disappointing poem!
