A Queen Is A Gift

A queen is a gift, my liege.

This one, she rarely speaks.

She walks down your halls shuffling her skirts.

Red skirts, my king,

you know what that means.

A queen is a gift my lord,

her face is so pale, the whitest silk it is.

She does not speak, my master,

she was trained to please you without a word.

A queen is a gift, you worm,

And her eyes are so green,

Green like the poison that flows in your veins.

And now you are a toad, my liege

A queen is a gift, my king

And now she crushes you sweetly

::does a lil dance since she is the first to comment:: Geesh, I could see your Queen in my head, her green eyes flashing so coyly like a cat waiting to show her claws, and boy did she ever. Excellent poem...the speaker obviously is/was infatuated with our Queen. Possible lovers? Who knows. With very few words you conveyed this story beautifully!

:-) Michelle Smith replies: "Thanx! Well, I thought that the speaker was one of the Queen's toadies, siding with her to share power. But the Lady is very attracive..."

"Red skirts, my king, you know what that means."

I'm not sure *I* do, but that line makes me laugh. Quite good.

:-) Michelle Smith replies: "Yeah, I'm not quite sure what that's supposed to mean either, but definetely something... dirty. Maybe similar to the red cloth Geishas wear. Thanx for commenting!"

That was really good! I absolutely lurve how it starts out all sweet and stuff and then at the end she turns into this nasty queen who turns her king into a frog.

Luverly job!
