O thou, amiable, innocent princess,
Let not thine veil hide thy face and beauty,
For all the world to admire, adore, see
What made thou cling to that unwholesome mask?
Will it modify such an horrible dark past?
Yet be not discouraged, never falter
Tis' a beautiful world, that's what matters,
Be obedient, hold your head up high,
Show great courage, let not thine good heart cry;
Thou knowest afterall, life is beautiful
Now go, unmask thyself, and thee be whole.
Written for 3WW (Prompt: Modify, Obedient, Veil)

ReplyDeleteExcellent words with a great message.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece querying are fears, and the 3 words slot in nicely.

ReplyDeleteHi KP;
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the praise, but I feel like I don't deserve it all...hence I am more challenged to burn more candles at night!
Anthony;

Woww :) :) Dear, You Are A Fantastic Poetess :) :)
ReplyDeleteFirst, welcome to 3WW and I hope you'll find it a place to exercise your muse each Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteWhile I do poetry from time and again, I find the form tough to write. You make it look easy. I like the sing-song nature of this.
Hello Anu;
ReplyDeleteGood morning!
Am up very early to rehearse on a speech that am gonna deliver today in my son's school, as president of the federation of homeroom parents, teachers and employees association.
But while trying to open my gmail account, I wonder why I can't log in. I made several futile attempts and till now I cant. Somebody must have hacked my account.
Thanks for you wonderful comments. You are all my inspirations to keep on writing. Yeah, there are really many times when we are so busy with our office work, but that is part of our life already!
Have a nice day!
Love,
Amity
Hi Sahana;
ReplyDeleteGood morning...:)
Wow...you made me smile of your fantastic comment...:)
Thank you so much!
Hi ThomG;
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warm welcome at 3WW...
This work, well, I am trying to school myself...and I found it very exciting...with the help of some notes from the net...:) After all, lessons in high school and college had long left my head and only some bits and pieces have survived, that's why!
Hope my muse won't falter me a bit!
I have one very good friend who encouraged me to take part at 3WW...and hopefully both of us will stay there for good...:)
Hiya, I like the way this sounds and the high/cry rhyme too!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Andy;
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, glad you like it!
A superb piece! I like the style and format of this one.
ReplyDeleteI love the old world feel of this. I can picture the gallant knight reciting to his lady. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSuch a way with words--thanks for sharing your verses.
ReplyDeleteRegards.
