The Sparkling Dress Poem by Han Min Ohn

Once in a kingdom there was a beautiful princess
Who ordered a tailor to make a dress, sparkling and vivid
‘This dress will let me shine brighter.’ she thought
To become the most beautiful lady being her plot.

The tailor meticulously made the dress she ordered
Using various sparkling jewels to make it brighter
It was so gleaming and bright when finished that
The princess rewarded the tailor amply in haste.

Having got the dress, the princess proceeded with her plan
To let everyone know that she was the most beautiful maiden
So, she asked her father to hold a large, grand banquet
Inviting everyone in the kingdom to the castle’s step.

Finally the long awaited day reached and the banquet began
The princess wearing her special dress as she planned
So gleaming and vivid the dress worn by the princess that
No eyes could make, on the princess, a direct, careful cast.
