100 Word Count Challenge – A Monarch Poem

Here is week 44 of the 100 WC for Grown ups. It is a weekly challenge for all those writers who want to extend their audience to get feedback on their work.

The prompt this week is to write a poem. It doesn’t have to rhyme or be specifically about the Monarch but it should capture the passing of sixty years. It has to be based on this prompt and be only 100 words.

Here is my take on the prompt:-

Dear Queen…

It’s your day, your Jubilee,
Sixty years since you were crowned,
Sixty years, you have done us proud.

Life has changed from then to now,
You have lead us the way you know how,
Inspirational and endearing.

Standing tall against all odds,
Smiling and waving at the crowds,
Humble and inviting to all you meet.

Beautiful and graceful throughout,
Through life and love,
You are like a star shinning down.

Dear Queen, our Queen, my Queen,
Her Magisty, have a wonderful day,
Enjoy you Diamond Jubilee.

Have a little G&T with us,
We raise our glasses to you, cheers.

Vote for me.
