Q's for Queen(s) |#AtoZChallenge

State Of Day. Now that both elders have left the house, I’m officially the older sibling! Hmm, that is indeed a weird feeling :|

..........................................................

For Q today, my student and I have found similar ground. In fact, it was her poem that inspired mine.

It isn’t like this is a new topic to me, I wrote a poem labeled ‘Queen’ in a previous A to Z challenge. But that one was kind of a joke if personal.

(Man that was a good day! 400 goals for Lionel Messi, swoon).

This year I’m trying more to capture feelings. My student thought her poem was silly, but I insisted it is good, and that I will post it.

To her a Queen  is a selfish person, once I read it I thought of the Queen of Hearts.

Me? I’ve always been fascinated by the life of a queen, behind the castle walls, but aren’t we all? Except I never wanted to be one, never imagined myself in such a position.

Queen

Proud, selfish

Lives in a castle

Cares only for herself

And this is my cinquain:

Queen

Mars her

chest,  a shadowy

spider web should she...

Surrender.

Bye :)

Cinquain is a non-rhyming 5-lined poem pioneered by Adelaide Crapsey (1878 - 1914). There are many ways to write it, weather relaying on the number of words or syllables in each line, which makes it always end up in a diamond-like shape. In this A to Z challenge I will be following the two and sometimes a mix of both types. I’ll also add some cute cinquains by my grade 4 talented students. Hope you enjoy our poetry.
