?? sorry i don't understand xD

So it doesn't have to be for just our team?

Nope :D

Beauty and the Beast
Beautiful but strange
Fell in love with a monster
True love will prevail
------------------------------
The Little Mermaid
Longed for something more
The feel of sand on her feet
And her one true love
------------------------------
Cinderella
Servant girl trapped alone
Only mice and birds as friends
Waiting for her Prince Charming

My three :)

She worked through the day
He danced through the entire night
Bayous find their love

Does it have to specifically have to be about a princess? or can it be about other characters in their movie? If not then I'll change mine, Sorry these suck but I'm no poet xD

They look and approve.

brrr I don't understand then ;)

Um...Anaji. You are TOTALLY not counting all the syllable correctly.

firegirl1515 for example is completely right. Her first line "Trees snag at her dress" consists of 5 monosyllabic words....WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU COUNTING 6 SYLLABLES?!!

PPV, firegirl1515, princesslullaby & BKG201 are all completely right. Madisonsavanna got her first and third correct.

Are you sure about those three?

Her name means beauty [5]

OOOOHhhh I just realized that if you're really from Nish, Serbia and Montenegro then you might pronounce English words entirely different from people from like Britain or America. We might have different vowel diphthongs.

Ok,i missed counted...And REALLY wrong....Sorry,guys :(

alafastanzio, thank you! It was the way I pronounced, so I'm glad I was not that wrong.

lol it's not a problem and please don't feel bad about it Anaji.

I didn't occur to me how the various Princess Fans might pronounce words differently. The word TERRORIST technically has 3 syllables but most Americans say it with 2 and even President Bush managed to almost say it with just 1.

determined child
she fought for her good father
and made him so proud
(mulan)


a cute little child
she has seven little men
they are small miners
(snow white)


With a kiss of love
The two are married and a
Happy end for all
(litte mermaid)

fragile as a rose
as the timeless tale unfolds
true love to behold
{Beauty and the Beast}


sleeping death she waits
only true love's kiss can break
praying that she wakes
{Snow White or Sleeping Beauty}


to paint with the wind
as the compass leads the way
a passion to stay
{Pocahontas}

reading and learning
selflessness and innocence
taking her away
(beauty and the beast)

seems like forever
she sleeps in her solitude
awaiting her love
(sleeping beauty)

was just one apple
so red and so magical
or so she had thought
(snow white and the seven dwarves)

Nothing could dampen
Cinderella's hopes and dreams
For a better life
(Cinderella)

Snow White is so sweet
Optimistic and perky
And always happy
(Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)

Jasmine wants to be clear
That she's not in any way
A prize to be won
(Aladdin)

Ariel's Story
A mermaid dreaming
Strikes a deal with the sea witch
She becomes human
---------------------------------
Beauty and the Beast
Dancing together
They realize their true feelings
The spell has broken
--------------------------------
Snow White Returns
She bites the apple
And falls into sleeping death
Then wakes with a kiss

+60 to Snow White...Roll :D
+35 to Belle
+20 to Mulan
+35 to Tiana!

Anaji, that's also wrong. pretty_angel92 and AllegroGiocoso both got one poem wrong.

pretty_angel92
a cute little child *[6]*
she has seven little men [7]
they are small miners [5]

AllegroGiocoso
Jasmine wants to be clear *[6]*
That she's not in any way [7]
A prize to be won [5]

The girls found love, in [5]
many ways. Because they are [7]
strong to fight for them. [5]

Here's one...You say if it's right!

^^Yep, that's fine =)

@ firegirl1515 Prettyangel's is correct "a cute lit-tle child" is 5 syllables. It's her first haiku's first line "de-ter-mined child" that has only 4

but AllegroGiocoso's does have 6

Anaji, yours is also correct :)

^^I always thought child was a two syllable word- when I use it in Shakespearian love sonnets and haikus at school it always counts as two. Either way, one of pretty_angel92's is still wrong.

Are there any point for Team Jasmine yet? (we seem to be missed out a bunch..)

And child is two syllables, at least how I say it.

Misssy, disneygirl & Lepetitsouris got all 3 of theirs right.

AllegroGiocoso's got 2

@boolander25 In standard modern English pronunciation, CHILD is strictly a single syllable because there's only one vowel.

REALIZE is optional(RE-A-LIZE or REAL-IZE)


*EDIT* huh so apparently I'm wrong. CHILD and words that rhyme with it (WILD or MILD) are one of them bizarre American exceptions having an optional schwa. \ˈchī(-ə)ld\ So it can be 1 or 2 syllables. My bad.

Tale as old as time
The sun rising in the east
Beauty and the Beast
(Beauty and the Beast, Sorry that was pretty bad)

She visits a ship
Falling in love at first sight
She becomes human
(Little Mermaid)

A sleeping maiden
She must receive true loves kiss
To be awaken
(Sleeping Beauty)

for anyone who has questions about pronouncing words link is a wonderful site that pronounces words for you both in American or English.

However you can be sneaky with some words in poetry. You can cut parts of words out. 2 syllable "OVER" can be cut down to 1 syllable O'ER. Other words if they have enough vowels can be lengthened. 2 syllable BEAU-TY can be lengthened to 3 syllables BEA-U-TY. Anyone have any question please feel free to ask. I love this sorta stuff and studied it in college.

ARIEL
The Little Mermaid
Her beauty oh so rare
Wish to be human

URSULA
The evil sea witch
Trying to take over sea
She than was banished

Athena
She was taken but
She will stay with Ariel
Will stay in her heart

I sure hope this will work

Kataralover

"Her beau-ty [bea-u-ty] so rare" [5/6] add 1 or 2 more syllables

"Beau-ty [bea-u-ty] lost for-e-ver" [6/7] get rid of 1 or 2 syllables

Your Ursula Haiku is just fine:)

OY I really hate haiku's right now

lol me too. I can't write poetry to save my life.

That's weird. Huh. Learn something new everyday, huh? ;)

Pshhh my poems suck compare to other people's on here D:

I like yours Duncan_Courtney! The second one is really great.

I added a word to my Ariel one, so now it has five syllables :)
