Advisor

The ambassador to the wayward king
But female and foreign and former
Formerly loved and revered by he
Now troubled with the queen of late
Then ambassador, Now advisor to the king

Bitter laughter from the advisor chamber
How should the advisor know what to do
Doing, never a strong suit of hers
Understanding, though, the key to advice
Nevertheless, she stays in the chamber

Locked within walls to let her inner voice be contained. That has to change. I quite enjoyed reading this piece. Well done! :)
