Notice of absence from arqios
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️
a queen of not so long ago
said to a queen of yesterday
move aside, you're in my way
to which she swished her train
the other stood as frozen rain
and neither did a foothold gain

There were dreadful days of Mary I. She and Henry VIII were murderers. Now that's no way to treat our mother-in-laws! lol.
Always fascinated me, he was my dad’s idol. Still can’t figure out why and as for Bloody Mary, even the drink fails to allure. 🙏🏻🕊
Killing off one wife is bad enough, but two?!
Just buy them more stuff and keep them happy… there’s enough life to go around🙏🏻🕊
kneel down, stand firm, hold fast & with that, she promptly breathed her last .. history is full of such woe .. 💛👍
As sure as the raven crows. Thanks kindly🙏🏻🕊
Reminds me of the Tudor period in our history books. A brutal time, and as for Henry VIII, a right royal bar steward. An absolute tyrant and so religious !! Said his prayers all the time. I am assuming 2016 was the year you wrote this poem arqios? Or does it refer to something else.
oh indeed, Cassie, it made its first rounds that year. 🙏🏻🕊
Pride and obstinacy together make for an immovable object as well as an irresistible force when meeting they go nowhere. A well worded and beautifully painted image in this very short piece.
Very short indeed although a clash of wills such as this may very well span complete lifetimes and even transform into feuds that lasts for centuries. 🙏🏻🕊
This is an interesting poem.It leaves me wanting to know more.
Me too! 🙏🏻🕊
A reminder of our murderous past, how we have changed over time!!!, enjoyed the read
Thanks kindly. And looking around us these days, some things haven’t changed much, if at all… but that’s material for another poem, or two… 🙏🏻🕊
You are very welcome
Fantastic.
Nicely done. Love the way this rhymes.
Ah...the game of kings and queens...where anyone could find out they're pawn. Well done on this my friend. It had a real classic ring to it, too. Loved it. 🌹👏
Hmm. Esoteric, eh? A riddle for our indulgence. I could swear that's virtually an image of "the British Josiah," but since I can't prove it...? Fascinating and excellently rendered with gorgeous imagery and a tantalizing, damning poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.
history is full of such tales- thanks for reviving my interest in it - had read about it
