King Canard(3), by ~~~~GLOSTARG~~~~ Subscribe to rss feed for <font color= ~~~~GLOSTARG~~~~ ">

Tell me fair maiden, what doest thou desire
Is it the gold or flame from it's fire.
I speak no canard, I am no liar,
For I can give you, but I am retired.

This musky old robe of dirt and damp vesture,
I wistfully hope to gain your true gesture.
there now, fair maiden, please don't look so sad,
You see, I am a rich king, yet violently clad.

Come closer dear rose, let me take in thy fragrance
for hence, I will promise, you shall not be the vagrant.
That Wench, she hath cast of her vaulted spells,
She hoped to have sent me straight foreward to hell.

Yet, I have remained through willful despise,
and now need your help, an embodied disguise.
break foreward now lady, thou of lusterous petals
and I will generously give to you, thy precious metals.

What is it you want in return of this mask
All will be yours, if you do what I ask.
What greater treasure could you ponder than All
I am your king and you should not stall.

Tell me fair maiden, what should you do,
I am here and so are you.
shall I retreat or take you unseen?
You would be wise, to reign as my queen!

Fair maiden fell prey for only a while
yes, gallantly he swayed her but to beguile.
She brake from his mesmerizing glare screaming loud!
The evil king... gone, in a disapating cloud!

Dear Glo, There's a lot of thought behind this poem and to me it depicts the the kind of person who though loathsome uses petty politics and power to ensnare the helpless or needy, however in this case it shows a strong willed person who is able to stand strong and break away from submissiveness and slavishness. I want to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your motivational and inspirational comments which I'm sure will help improve my work with the passing of time. To me every poem of your's which I've read has been nothing short of awsome. Don't even dream of discontinuing such outstanding works of art. Luv Chuck
