The White Queen: A Poetry Collection
January 28, 2020
The cook serves food
To one and all
Who venture through the castle
One fateful night
Came through a maiden
Who did not leave her sight
The cook was drawn
Right to this maiden
As she danced the night away
With two left feet
She tried to fit in
Among the royal dancers
Her hair
It shined
It flowed and curled
Pulling the cook further in
Her lack of grace
Her clumsiness
Spun the cook into a web
This is the tale
Of a girl
A girl who stole a heart
She flirted and smirked
To all around
Somehow maintaining a striking composure
The cook decided to take her hand
To keep the maiden close
She kept her safe, all in good faith
As the ball began to fade
Her heart was true
Her soul was too
As she led the girl away
At once she stood
“This is too new,
I can’t live without a crown”
This is a tale
Of the girl
Who stole a heart
And almost made a cook steal the crown
