I've been given the challenge word of wicked/wickedness. This is what came to mind. Tell me what you think of my use of the word.

A Fairy Tale Comes to Life 

The sight of her warts, 

the hateful gleam in her eyes, 

the red apple in her hands, 

the darkness covering the skies, 

all she needs is the green skin. 

Her evil would be completed. 

A young girl is terrified by the 

wickedness which leaves her depleted. 

~ 

The woman floats around 

in satins, ribbons, and lace. 

Parading around town 

with a smile on her beguiling face. 

While from morning until dark 

the girl does all the chores. 

Washing, cooking, mending, cleaning. 

She's never seen out of doors. 

~ 

Everyone loves the woman. 

Think her kind and gracious. 

The girl sees her as a wolf. 

One who defines ostentatious. 

The girl longs for her father. 

He'd see her for what she was. 

Whisk the child away. 

Faster than a bee could buzz. 

~ 

Miracle of miracles happen 

one fine but gloomy day. 

From the sea, the father returns. 

Makes the woman pay. 

A gift of ruby red slippers and 

down the wicked witch went. 

The girl is surrounded by love. 

Once more, smiles are her accents.
