Sitting here on a rock,
Looking over my kingdom,
Looking over the valleys below,
Looking over the vibrant colors in
The sunset above
I am King.
Thinking about my life,
My struggles,
My successes,
My admirers,
I am King.
I've lived a life of power,
Everybody listening,
Everybody agreeing,
Nobody speaking their mind.
I realize I’ve lead my dear kingdom,
As a ruler not leader.
I’ve gave them orders,
Not suggestions.
Sitting here on a rock,
Looking over my kingdom,
Looking over the valleys below,
Looking at the vibrant colors in
The sunset above.
I regret time I spent,
Being King.
I enjoyed reading this poem. My favorite lines are: "I’ve gave them orders, Not suggestions". I like how you used the image of a lion to take the role of a king. I also like how you ended your poem with a sad, remorseful feeling, because a lot people finish their writing with a "happy ending", but yours is realistic. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI loved your repetitive voice and how you said the same thing as you did at the end as you did in the beginning. You really set a mood from this poem and it really goes along with the picture.I love how you also related the lion to a king. I totally agree with you about that:)
