"glinda" poems
Long hours, late nights, many sleepless nights
Tired feet galore
Dorothy’s discarded her Ruby Slippers for shoes of glass
But Glinda kept the magic
The feminine Tin man with his girlish heart and voice
Has had a *** change now
And how a dress of mesh fits 'em oh so well
Toto was put down for eating one of the slippers
Been replaced by house keeping mice
At least they can't chew glass
Scarecrow gained prestige and balance
Those things of which he lacked
The Cowardly Lion shaved his curly mop
We still haven’t seen him since
Aunty Em gained the crown she very much deserved
Uncle Henry preferred the merchant life
Since the Wizard foresaw their separation
Now Cinderella’s in a tizzy
Her stepsisters make her dizzy
And truth be told, you never hear
She had a bit too much to drink, so near
to the ball, first dress was ripped
The other slipped far off her head when she tripped
One shoe on, the other gone
And the rest….
Well, you know.

In another life
I would marry you
shortly after meeting
In this life
I'm wandering
re-learning how to live
"Just being happy"
with never seeing you again
There isn't a wand
to undo this heartbreak
the grisly taste left in your mouth
Death is bitter, yet
would have been better
than
this daily affliction
Peculiar and unfamiliar
feelings
of endless cold
spicy desires
never to be fulfilled

The most beautiful woman of Oz,
The Good Witch.
Dark brown eyes full of innocence,
A mind naiive,
Lips that smile sweetly.
Oh Theodora,
That you should become the Wicked Witch of the West.
He didn't love you
He never did
He was a player
And fooled you
Your innocent heart
How it broke
The childish nature
Maturing with each tear
You said you'd be his queen
Give your life to him in service
Happy to do anything for him
But he ran before you had a chance
He ran and found Glinda
Glinda the Pretty Once
Father's Daughter
The Wise Witch
Creamy milk skin,
Pink cheeks,
Fair eyes
Blond hair,
How could you compete with her charms?
There was no winning the Wizard's heart now.
All hope was lost
Your dream crushed
The tears fell
Burning scars into your cheeks.
Oh Theodora.
If only you hadn't been so naiive.
Your sister Evanora is the real Wicked Witch
If only you had seen it.
She offered you an apple
Grown in hell
Poisoned with jealousy
Sweetened with hatred
She promised it would change your life forever
Change your heart
Make it impenetrable to everyone
She did not lie
And you believed
You bit into the apple
And suddenly everything was clear
Evanora lied to you for years
Glinda was the Good Witch
And you were dying.
Your heart saw clearly as it dissolved in you,
Theodora.
All that was good and innocent,
Kind and caring,
Withered and shrunk.
You became the Wicked Witch of the West,
Cruelty at its best
And jealousy at its worst
Oz betrayed you
And you wanted him to die
Along with everyone else
It's all over for you Theodora.
Oz believed there was still good inside you
That could come out someday.
He understood that he had caused you to become this
That Evanora's magic had worked on you.
You denied him.
You shouted never.
Whatever was good left was destroyed in that moment.
Theodora the Good, we mourn you.
Theodora the Wicked Witch, fear us.
You will be defeated someday.

Wandering the Yellow Brick Road,
Toto gallops at my side
The glittering Emerald City
Only a small spec on the horizon
But there is no rush, we will be there soon
Danger certainly doesn't lurk on our path
But what’s that?
A gray cloud rolling in
Over my grand escape
Surely this is the fault of the Wicked Witch
She is the cause of all trouble
In a happily untainted world
But what’s happening now?
The scarecrow?
Confused, lost
The tinman?
Cold, unloving
And the lion?
Timid, coy
But where is the wizard?
He should be arriving any moment now
He will surely help us find our way
But where is Glinda?
She knows reality will release its clutch
She will give us comfort
My fairy tale world cannot crumble
Even in the distant memory of childhood
I hope I haven’t somehow lost
My ruby red slippers along the way

Care to elaborate?
There are so many.
Colin Kaepernick, e.g.,
Trying so hard to work the
African-American community--
A useful constituency--to wit:
Barack Obama, no stranger to ********
Then there's Donald Trump:
Like Andy Dufresne who "crawled
Through a river of **** he expects to
Come out "Clean on the other side."
And lest we forget: Hilary.
Mrs. Clinton uses ******** like magic.
She's Cruella Deville disguised as
Glinda the Good Witch in Oz.
Just ask Bill.

I see that bubble you roll around town in
and I can sometimes make out those mumblings,
calls of, "Looking to find my soulmate!"
Funny, vibration of laughter surrounding you
has not burst that solipsistic fizz and froth
Don't you hear yourself reverberating?
In your echoic encasement
Oh how you shine
In that mirrored concavity
And you love yourself so much
How could anyone else even come close
This is your soulmate speaking
Glinda, you haven't been a very good witch
lately

JUDY GARLAND
Sometimes I wish the wizard in his wisdom
your future he could have seen
Then maybe he’d have made you stay in Oz
to live out all your dreams
And Glinda might not have let you know
by clinking your heels you could go home
If your future they could have ever known
that your rainbow would not be lined with gold
would they have ever let you leave Oz to go home
AND JUDY –TO ME - YOU WILL ALWAYS BE DOROTHY

The witch is dead?
Can this be?
My sister is gone,
so why am I happy?
Am I the wicked
and not the good?
Are these feelings I'm feeling
to be understood?
If the wicked do not rest
will she find her peace?
Did the evil she possess
get passed on to me?
There's a smile on my face
to mask my pain.
I will mirror the Munchins
celebration in vain.
"Ding **** They cheer
parading down the road,
celebrating Dorothy
and her little dog, Toto.
She murdered my sibling
by her twisting home.
She came from Kansas
a place unknown.
Who is the child,
that is getting applause?
A demon to destroy
the Witches of Oz?
I need to send her back
with a simple spell,
back to Kansas;
back to hell.
I may be the next witch
on her list,
to eradicate
with a house that twists.
The Emerald wizard will answer her call.
For there’s no place like home, after all.

I got swept up by a tornado and landed in the Land of Oz where I met the munchkins after accidentally killing the Wicked Witch of the East
Then Glinda Told me to go to Emerald City after giving me magical shoes so I can get home
And on the way I met a scarecrow who needed a brain and a tin man who needed a heart along with a cowardly lion who needed courage
And after meeting the wizard he sent us on a mission to steal The broom from the Wicked Witch of the West
And when we got in trouble I threw a bucket of water on her to save us from her wickedness and she begins to melt then we took the broom to The Wizard of Oz who happen to not be a wizard at all but really just a man with many tricks up his sleeves But he managed to keep his promises as I click my magic heels together I'm back in Kansas once more Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale
