James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Free verse

Esther

Esther Oh!
Esther
My Jewish Queen
Orphan daughter of Abihail
Original name. . .Hadassah
Esther Oh!
Esther
Also known as Myrtle
My Jewish Queen
Her cousin Mordecai
Protected her
Kept her in Persia
Little miss "Astra"
Esther, beautiful and obedient;
Used convincing rhetoric
Esther Oh!
Esther
To save her people
She is a hero
She was my hero
My heroin
Esther Oh!
Esther
My Jewish Queen
Hadassah
Beautiful maiden
Esther Oh!
Esther
