Once upon a time
is how a fantasy starts…
ends with bankrupt dreams.

This one isn't as much to my taste as other poems, though it does have the correct number of syllables. A good idea, and true, but it sounds sort of cliché.

Nice job! You took something that has been done before, and you made it your own and very unique! I love the last line, "bankrupt dreams". How beautiful and fresh. Really lovely.

True dat:) lol In fairy tales, there is always a happily ever after, but not in reality. I like the last line, in how this idea is expressed.
