My entry (non winning!) is below!
Cinderella’s Pumpkin
She watched, as her fairy godmother turned the pumpkin into a glorious carriage, then the mice to horses.
“Go, my dear! Find your Prince!”
It was a whirlwind of food, dance and laughter.
He loved her, she was sure of it, but that dreaded bell had to chime, didn’t it?
The beautifully crafted glass slipper left behind in the rush, she would mourn.
But not as much as that giant pumpkin.
It had been the largest one in the garden.
Oh, the plans she’d had for that beautiful gourd.
All those potential meals, ruined, and for what?
A man.
But I Smile Anyway...
