What Makes a Good Queen
So many responsibilities
Resting on tiny shoulders
The King’s sudden death
Meant the heavy crown was hers.
She’d been brought up to rule
But why so soon?
Why had her father died?
It was her first day, and noon.
Her stomach felt heavy,
As did her head,
She had to push through it
Even though she wanted to hide in bed.
To others, she appeared
Steady and unemotional
But inside she was warring
To seem cool and impartial.
Unknown to her now,
She would be a good queen
Always insistent that
No one be mean.

Misunderstood Queen! But aren’t we all. LOL
LOL I reckon you’re right! 😀
Kymber, a great poem for a striking image! I like how you reach into her personal angst, the heaviness of the duty ahead and yet a rule that would be full of kindness.
Thank you, Annika. I’m so glad you like it. 🩷🌷
What a huge responsibility! I don’t envy her one bit. You did a great job of describing her inner turmoil. I especially liked the last stanza, for the hope of times ahead. 🌞

After reading about Queen Elizabeth’s untimely rise to leadership, I wouldn’t want to be her. Britain was lucky to have her.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. I think she was amazing. 🩷🌸
