The Queen in Me

by Maple Tree   Apr 20, 2015


The arch bishop crowned
Thee five years hence-

My reign is far more pricless
Than gold goblets and tiaras.

I've beheaded more demons
Than I care to count,
Viewing the country side
I ponder, my peasants
Are draped in velveteen,
Hunger is unknown.

I'm a simple woman
Living in her castle
Far in the eastern
Countryside....

A writer with an imagination
Big enough to rule the world;
Yet humble enough not to....

Note: tried to shape it as a goblet... :-)

    Wow! For me, it is shaped like a goblet (: Haha .. We often live in our daydreams, in a world that only exists in our fantasies and imaginations, a place that only lives in fiction. I like how you unleashed the inner queen inside you through this piece. I just like the capitalization of the first letters of every line, it kind of make the poem grand and royal, at least for me. The atmosphere or feel of the poem is that of a kingdom's, that added to the awesomeness of this piece. If I am in your kingdom, I will be definitely happy that you are the Queen. (: At first, I really thought that this piece will be about you being the queen of the house as a mother... something like that and I was surprised that it wasn't (: I like the humility in the end .. Ohh .. I just love the ending part... You do rule!! Haha (: Lovely write (: Hope you enjoy your reign, our Royal Highness (:
