Note: "Queen of Hearts" is being written in poetry-form; in
this case, I am writing it as a sonnet, in which there are fourteen
lines that follow a rhyming pattern of 'abab cdcd efef gg,'
the sonnet ending with a couplet. Unlike "Coming Together," my
ballad, there is a "meter" for this – in each of the
fourteen lines, each line must have only ten syllables. This was also
written for the "fanfic100" Livejournal community.

"Queen
of Hearts"
By Shieldmaiden18

You
are a woman of beautiful eyes,
For they hold the truth – and
only the truth;
For
they are very bold, and truly wise;
For
only you can hold and capture youth.
They
have told me many times before, that
You are indeed one of a kind:
Therefore,
Even
if you're not the best in combat,
Even if I hadn't noticed
before,
Now I'm very sure and very certain,
That you have
captured my eyes with your art,
That I won't look upon you in
disdain,
For, truly, my dear, you are queen of hearts.
And
come what may, I will always love you:
There will never be a day
I'll doubt you.
