Growing up I dreamed of being a queen.
Being able to call my wild untamed pet a tiger
Having every word I state being quoted.
Everyone around me wanting to be my friend
They bring me special gifts straight from the Earth,
Never Reluctantly giving me their first fruits.
What a bittersweet obligation just like a Grapefruit
The task is never ending for a Queen.
She must be quick and Fierce just like a Tiger
For she is responsible and the keeper of the earth.
Her best interest are for her people, they are her friends.
Her word must be powerful to go down in history as quotes
But a real queen is, And I quote
“ A Virtuous Women”. She bring her dreams to fruition.
She is admired by her family and friends.
A crown is not needed for her to know that she is a queen.
The cream of the fight, just like the eye of the tiger.
She is strong as the roots that grow underneath the earth
A true queen learns from previous ancestors that walked the earth
She spreads knowledge and wisdom of studied quotes
Protective over her young, just as a female Tiger.
The beauty of her soul is a refreshing as freshly squeezed fruit.
Her husband replaces her name with queen
Her royalty is views by all of her friends
So being a queen is not as easy as I thought my friend,
It’s critical that you be intoned with yourself and the earth,
For the earth will leak little secrets of how to walk as a queen.
Your like will be like one big quotation.
An essential part of everyone’s diet like fruit.
Your courage stripes you like Tiger.
The pride and strength in you could challenge a tiger’s.
Learning to love your enemies as friends,
Learning savor the meat of life fruits,
Appreciating the Gifts of the earth,
And saying words of wisdom create for quotes.
All are what make up the true essence of a queen
I am queen, with the slyness of tiger. I am the foundation for my friends. And we al reap the benefits from the earth.
Well done with your sestina.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if I could pull off another one.
I really enjoyed yours though as you got the true essence of a queen...
I have heard of cream of the crop, but cream of the fight I am not too sure about. But otherwise good job. :)
