The Last Worst Thing

And here’s our prompt (optional, as always). In certain versions of the classic fairytale Sleeping Beauty, various fairies or witches are invited to a princess’s christening, and bring her gifts. One fairy/witch, however, is not invited, and in revenge for the insult, lays a curse on the princess. Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem in which you muse on the gifts you received at birth — whether they are actual presents, like a teddy bear, or talents – like a good singing voice – or circumstances – like a kind older brother, as well as a “curse” you’ve lived with (your grandmother’s insistence on giving you a new and completely creepy porcelain doll for every birthday, a bad singing voice, etc.).

Write a "The Last Blank" poem.
I combined the prompts and wrote a blue Senryu of which I'm quite proud. I'm sure nobody else will like it. That's always the way with the things I write. The ones I like best are the ones everyone else hates.
I'm off to make my Haiga now.
