Hot and dangerous she sits on her throne
in a beautiful garden
wearing pink begonia's in her hair
there is a parade of boys that crowd around
quietly they await for her gaze
they admire the pink in her hair
she sits in the garden throughout the early southern dawn.
The fact that you start out by describing the queen as "Hot and dangerous" stood out to me. It breaks away from the archetype of queens as being pretty and fragile and kind. It paints a picture of a strong, self-assured, captivating woman who is not afraid to wear pink flowers in her hair. Awesome, especially for so short a poem.
ReplyDeleteThe image of a crowd of boys gathered just waiting for a look from her really sums up her power...
