D - While The Princes Slept. Poem by Gillian.E. Shaw
D - While The Princes Slept.
While the Princes slept:
An unseen hand.
While a secret kept:
Reached through their dreams.
As cold steel sparked,
eyes wide awake!
While the Princes slept.
While the Princes slept:
A destiny lost.
While a secret kept:
Then to bear a cross.
With a crown of gold
and tragedy told
while the Princes slept.
While the Princes wept:
A nation felt grief.
While the Princes kept:
The lonely vigil.
And a coffin fetched
for an Uncrowned Queen;
while the Princes slept.
For her sons.
A comparison drawn between
the Princes in the Tower and
the sons of The People's Princess.

I don't know the poem/writing that inspired this but I liked it. I liked the reps of while the princes slept...gave me a good picture in my head. I'll have to go find read what inspired you... :)
I'll have to go back and read about this one....but I like the way you keep repeating 'While the Princes slept.' I have read this several times and like the way it flows. At first I thought the short lines made it too choppy, but as I re-read it, I decided it was more like a chant. Well done. Raynette
