Poetry by Sabrina Cabrera Rivera: Big Bad Wolf
Big Bad Wolf
Why would I fall apart
For the likes of you?
Watch that smile on my face
While I strut around
In your fur pelt
That false confidence I stole away
A sheep in wolf’s clothing
Is
All that you are.
What a big mouth that you have! To change broken words Into fine lies.
What big ears you have! To listen to stories That shouldn’t have been told. I made this house
Laid down each brick
Set down the foundation.
A little huff and puff
Won’t knock me down.
Coward!
Hide in your trees.
Am I cute in this red coat?
I can see your jealousy
My fear of you
Is that of a puppy.
They are quite fun to play with I can’t take you seriously
my interest
is all but a myth
A child’s tale
Taken far too seriously
Even pigs aren’t afraid of you.
