Regina's Introduction to Magic

Regina was hurt.

She had nowhere to go.

All she could think of

Was her revenge on Snow.

She couldn't stay with her mother

For another day.

She decided then and there

That she would run away.

On her trusty steed,

She galloped down the dirt path

In hopes to escape

Her mother's wrath.

Then without warning,

Like unexpected mines,

Something reached out and grabbed Regina,

A tangle of mossy vines.

The vines turned her

Around to view

Her mother, Cora,

Who resembled a shrew.

"You cannot leave, Regina.

I've cast a barrier spell.

You cannot leave without the king.

He serves our family well."

Regina saw the magic book in Cora's hands

And struggled against the spell.

She knew that the strong undergrowth

Had become her prison cell.

"Don't struggle against the vines, dear.

They'll only grow tighter.

I knew from the beginning

That you were quite a fighter."

Cora released her

And the vines fell loose.

If they were holding Regina any longer,

They would have become her noose.

Regina fell upon the ground

With a small bruise on her fore.

The hatred she felt towards Cora

Grew even more.

The next day,

They all rode out to the castle.

With the king, Regina, Cora, and her father,

It was quite the hassle.

Even though Regina

Would've liked to detain her,

She had Snow White

Come to her new chamber.

You see, Regina had to keep up

This good reputation

Or surely, the king

Would give her a deadly proclamation.
