Queen enough for you

results of jubilee poem came in  did not win of course with "England I love this Republic"  the winners were  two elderly women and a school girl really simple  rhythm  no wonder pam ayres  loved them
mixed emotions over the jubilee was it just a TV event  "her majesty god bless her" strange having to say prayers in church for the heirs of Henry VII
finally put my jubilee poem together  and on to the Olympics


Queen enough for you
Not quite an era , an epoch
All one in decades
Age ridden monument
Of kings and a line of kings
God gave them  their stone
Castle fast tombs
Where they  are grinning like lords

Red white and blue
White rose
White cockade

Not part of me


Past and emotionalated
Rigid biped moving at diagonals
Vertical severe architecture
Elizabethan virgin, Victorian virgin
She walks among us
The restless beef  a shout crowd and flags
Can this be a Republic
But no I fall at the first
Cry to near century

Not part of me
All of me
