Aaaaaand last week's poem was about GAIUS! The official Camelot pimp! But as someone (Lady Elrayen – the only reviewer, sniff!) pointed out, it is from Merlin's point of view. So we'll give you the point for saying Merlin if you're all technically minded like that!

Hi again, faithful readers of this still-young poetry corner. I know it's not technically been a week, but Catherine was late in uploading Chapter 2 of 'The Dreamcatcher' (check that one out too!) because she was working. So this is to make up for that, and also because I couldn't wait – it's really exciting that actual real people read your material and comment (hint, hint, lovely people!) on it!

Ok, ok, I'll calm down… For this one, all credit goes to Catherine actually, she wrote this all by herself to give to me, (aww!) that was a lovely surprise. And now I will share it with the world! Mwahaha!

Happy reading – don't forget to try and guess the MAIN CHARACTER it is about! (Sorry but as mentioned above there was a discrepancy with last week's poem because it was from one character's perspective but directed towards another character.)

Long Live the King (by Catherine)

O, to be a mighty king,
It is not an easy thing.

The people, well, they never listen,
And your head, it does glisten.

Shinier than the brightest gold,
Within, your mind, it does unfold.

But hold on tight to your power,
Before it leaves in this light hour.

And your throne, it will be cleared,
And hear the crowd, oh how they cheered.

As your son, he took the crown,
And his wife, in a wedding gown.

She bore no noble class or wealth,
And the new king's servant, who'd lived in stealth.

Golden magic flew from his eyes,
And though you'd wished for his demise.

It was not your command to make,
And free he stood, make no mistake.

Loyal still, at Arthur's side,
All thoughts of enemies laid aside.

O, your kingdom, you see the change,
And, to you, it seems so strange.

And although you think it's just a fling,
The people cry, 'long live the king'!


Yaaaay! Oh, I'm tearing up, it's so emotional! Ooh, next week's poem is very exciting - we try out a new structure of poem, rather than just the two rhyming lines!

Well, hopefully it's not too hard to guess who that was about! (Hint, there's a clue in the name!) Don't forget to review, and tell us what you thought!

See you around, lovely people! :)
