Notes About The Poem

Free Verse   ---   2025 January 19

+The Romanov Family 1913. | Romanov family, Anastasia romanov, House of romanov

in their voice historical

A father calls about the grand hall for his daughters. His premonitions serve him well, as Ana answers in due time. He tells her to tell her sisters that they are going to England, to visit their cousins. King George V found them to be pompous, a decision he'll later regret. WWI was spreading talks before they returned home. King George V of Great Britain and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia himself were on one hand, and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany on the other – were first cousins? Their grandmother was Queen Victoria. All suffered great losses, but the Romanoff's suffered the most. They lost their crowns and were imprisoned for a long time. Later, they were led to a basement of chairs, as they closed the door. Bolsheviks burst in, and after a small speech, Ana held the older sister Olga as they fired their pistol into the Romanoff's family and their doctor.
