The Royal Lampshade - 2nd Place

Expensive lampshade like made of gold With soulful stories to be told But deep inside, it is bruised For, in the deepest pit, it cruised The sitting crowns brought it to sails A silent witness to their triumphs and fails It had a taste of their spank And in their sinking, it also sank In the moment of their destruction It had its taste of desolation But then, a finder brought it to life In field of war, amidst strife The memories of its yesterday Comes more hurting day by day But the amber of its light Paves for a morning, fair and bright Creative writing prompt poetry contest 2nd place Judged September 2, 2023 PST
