Fallen

Image by Sarolta Ban

Once upon a dream
 An angel was sent to Earth
 She has lost her way

~Cie~

Prompt Used:
Where did I come from? 

See notes

Notes:
This Lune addresses the metaphysical theory that I may not just be trashed out mentally ill fuckup, I may be a fallen angel. I have been studying the Lost Books of the Bible and the works of Dr. Doreen Virtue, and what I am reading rings true for me. If it makes you feel better, you can file this theory under trashed out mentally ill fuckup and just appreciate the poem, or not. I don't really care, just don't be a dick about it.
The line "once upon a dream" was inspired by the line "once upon a December," which comes from a song in the animated movie "Anastasia." I would not have come up with this if it weren't for today's NaPoWriMo prompt, so although I didn't specifically follow their instructions, they did inspire me.

    I like how your poem slips from a past event to a present state, ensuring that the change has its own purpose and identity. An interesting one.

    I really like the thought of fallen angels as a concept, but the poem to me says more.

    A beautiful haiku. Perhaps one day the fallen angel WILL find her way. Well done :-)

    This is very lovely. Love the "once upon a dream". And I believe we all come to earth as pure as angels. Then stuff happens to us. One thing about falling.....we can still rise. Smiles.

    First of all, I love the image you chose. It has a potent message in itself and your words combined with it make incredible art. I can place myself within your words. Thanks so much for writing for the prompt!!

    Yes, I think you are a fallen angel. Welcome to Earth.

    I think that's a beautiful, and sweetly succinct, account of your origins. As well as a lovely poem.
