Hello!

Stegosaurus here for a review!

From what the two reviewers before me, this poem has a deep meaning and I love poem with that deep meaning- that makes the reader double over in reading to understand it completely and I like it when poems do that. I enjoyed the definition of a 'lady' and the symbol it has in the poem along with the 'king' and 'queen' and I liked it. Also I liked the imagery in the first few stanzas of this poem.
What I got from this piece is that the queen is the dominant between the king and her while the king is more greedy for the money and such. The child, to me, would be the left over between the king and queen.

I liked this poem for its diction and tone of it; it all seems mysterious and the suspenseful as I continue you. I liked the ending, as the child gets the throne while the king is hated by his only children and the mother has fallen due to rumors being spread by her (?). Overall, good work and I hopefully will read more of your work!
If you want me to cover something, let me know!

Hi! Sarah here to review. I have to agree with Prez. Turtles down there. This is such a well written poem, I would think that more people would read it! The only think I would find a little distracting is the stanzas. They are not quite as defined as I would normally like them to be. But if you think of it, it kind of goes with the flow of the poem. Did you do that on purpose? I can never tell.

Keep writing, as always! I shall now go read your other poems. I want more!

This has a deep meaning behind it that could actually relate to things that happen on a day-to-day basis. If you take it the way I do, I personally think that the "queen" is the woman who spreads rumors and lies and calls people names just to feel better about herself. The "king" is the man who pretends to love her and watches her do these cruel actions, though he probably only wants her for her body and looks and nothing more. The child, is, well, the child of these two, whose parents are too busy worrying about their own personal matters than their son or are simply abusive to him. The son grows up alone with no one to help him. That's the way I take it, whether it was meant to be taken that way or not, I'm not so sure.
However, I loved this piece all together. It was really a splendid piece of literature and I loved it. Great job on portraying the actions and personalities of the "king," "queen," and child! You should keep writing things like this and build up even more skill. I'd love to read another one of your works that matches or goes beyond what you've shown here!
