Rajahs Poems | Examples

The Royal the Regal Vs the Poet's Own Realm

Of 
splendid 
thrones of 
gold
Of 
treasures 
manifold

Of Sultans 
and Shahs
Of Emirs 
and Rajahs

Of 
jewelled 
caskets
or lavish 
banquets

Of 
sparkling 
crowns
and 
flowing 
gowns

Of kings 
and queens
Rulers and 
emperors

Of their 
subservient 
stewards 
and 
obedient 
butlers
Or the 
servile 
knaves 
and 
stalwart 
squires

Of the 
peons and 
minions
pages and 
pavilions

Of castles 
and palaces
of 
abounding 
gold and 
silver
in 
ostentatious 
regal 
splendour

Ah the 
fanning 
maids in 
waiting
Yet to me 
one thing 
worth 
more 
noticing
The poet 
minstrels 
who came 
to sing
from afar 
for the 
queen and 
king

For I'd 
rather be a 
poet for 
kings
so to my 
tunes 
swayed 
the 
kingdom
than I be 
the king 
of mere 
subjects
and be filled with regal 
boredom!

So I could join ranks of 
troubadours
and sing for the king 
some folklores


For words are the heart of imagination
Inviting to poetic fascination.
