Nette Onclaud Poet Rhyme

Long May You Reign

As genial cheers weave spells in your presence
To enchant our eyes with jubilant scenes;
For conservative ways do  kindle wonders
Though few will say, all is not what it seems.

Yet the stars beam in joyful contentment
Crowning eighty years of Elizabeth’s time,
Guided by old rules yet loved by her  people
Who offer flowers and wishes sublime.

For London today brims with warm faces
A moment in June while voices bellow;
“Long may you reign for England, may you reign!”
Till history peals of decades that glow.

Dear Majesty, when hours entice you back
Remember your dreams will always be steered;
For this kingdom is blessed  by life’s devotion
While endless fjords whisper your name, revered.

John Lawless June 6, 2015 at 3:54 PM Congrats on the win Nette. Elizabeth would probably say "IT'S GOOD TO BE THE QUEEN"

Leon Datu June 5, 2015 at 11:54 PM Gracious cheer for the Queen along with some good anecdotes about her, done in a brilliant manner. " Though few will say, all is not what it seems." Very telling but so subdued.

Thomas Martin June 5, 2015 at 10:21 PM Lovely! Good luck in contest!

Andrea Dietrich June 5, 2015 at 12:35 PM this is very lovely, and that last line is a great ending, fjords whispering her name!!

Sara Kendrick June 5, 2015 at 8:39 AM Very praiseworthy work about the queen..Enjoyed reading your contest entry..Reads like a winner to me..Way to go..Thanks for your visit..Sara

Norma Arana June 5, 2015 at 7:19 AM You got it right about her old ways. Good thing she tamed a bit during Diana's death. I am for William too. Seems you wanted to say this in your spectacular write for Herc Majesty!

Jan Allison June 5, 2015 at 3:16 AM She is the most inspirational woman Nette - 89 years old and still in charge - long may she reign and then the reins should pass on to William - many would not be enamored to see Camilla as queen! hugs jan xx

Carly Lalion June 5, 2015 at 1:17 AM This strict, old-fashioned matron still has the hearts of many. A regal poem for a queen; I hope William comes next to her--oops! Jan Allison June 5, 2015 at 3:14 AM Yes bypass Charles and William to be next in line - i second your thoughts too:-) Hugs Janxx
