Poetry vs royalty
Of splendid thrones of gold
or treasures manifold
Of jeweled caskets
or lavish banquets
Of Emirs and rajahs
Of Sultan and Shahs
Of kings and queens
Of rulers and emperors
Of sparkling crowns
or flowing gowns
Of their subservient stewards and obedient pages
Of their stalwart squires and servile knaves
Of poor humble, docile minions
who tended to regal pavilions
And obeisantly carried royal palanquins
Oh and some were real life harlequins
Of castles and palaces
of abounding gold and silver
in ostentatious regal splendour
The sidelined fanning maids in waiting
Yet to me only one thing worth noticing
The minstrels who came to sing
from afar for the queen and king
For I'd rather be a poetess for kings
so to my tunes swayed a kingdom
than I be the king of mere subjects
and be filled with regal boredom!
So I could join ranks of
troubadours
and sing for the king
some folklores.

Warmest thanx for the friendly comment. Take care and God bless.
Hi Sz,
The King and Queen have everything
That their riches have them brought
But their saddened hearts can never sing
For lost happiness, as youths they sought
.
For their marriage early was prearranged
Their Soulmates left behind
Love is now fore'er estranged
Their faces taut and lined
.
But I, the carefree troubadour
Can bring a smile to their face
For my heart is happy evermore
In my true love's soft embrace
Peace and Love,
Larry xxx

Dear Sz,
Thank you for those so kind words. It is my pleasure to comment poetically on your beautiful poems.
We're only going to be on Cosmo sporadically for the next few weeks, due to some surgery for my wife, and also, due to the fact that I am computer illiterate.
Peace and Love,

Splendour in both scene-setting and language. Royally written...✍???
S.zaynab.kamoonpury, thought I'd venture back to the beginning and see where it all started with your poems and was not disappointed by a long chalk.
Great poem that feels like a portal has opened up and a reader is transported to a different realm.
For that is how descriptive and involving your written words display and confidently project here.
Thanks for sharing and peace to you my friend.
