Seren Roberts Poet Clerihew

Prince Jahan and Mumtaz

Eyes met as they walked the market place
Mumtaz and Prince Jahan hearts did race
betrothed for five years before his bride
fourteen children before she died

Prince Jahan it was true love at first sight
distraught at her demise, a shrine of ivory white
built in her honour "Crown of Palaces: now stands
the Taj Mahal is famous throughout the lands

Everyone who visits the magnificent Taj Mahal is moved by his love and loss and how the palace he built in her memory enchants the heart. I loved this! Congratulations on your win.
