My years have grown old
My days have grown short
The nights have become cold
I now hide here in my fort
The flaps of the tent flutter
I sit at the table
My mind is cluttered
With thoughts of my able troops
We are at war
And they are beating us at sea
But we are strong at the core
My people will soon be free
I will seize the day
That day in May.
This poem was written from the perspective of Queen Elizabeth 1 when England and the Spanish Armada were fighting at sea.
the first person who answered knows that I saw a movie about the queen and her defeat of the armada and she was joking with me...don't pay any attention to her! lol
oh geez... that's nice.... stop watching movies? Anyways I haven't seen it but I think this is a really nice poem, it doesn't bore me to death. Most people write page long poems on this kind of stuff... good job!
