Succession
I rarely watch a TV show
The night that it first airs,
So sometimes there’s a lot of hype
To catch me unawares.
This happened with “Succession,”
For this season’s number 3
Had both friends and stories in The Times
All reaching out to me.
I won’t divulge the secret,
But it’s interesting to note
Just how many people to this series
Time and thoughts devote.

Accession Impressions
God wears the bling,
Its a constitution ting,
King Chazza going to fix it,
Give the corgis their biscuits,
Now he's got the crown
He can turn that frown upside down,
There's no way his Regal reign
Will get washed down the drain
The Patri, mono and hier archies
Rely too much on his malarkeyGod wears the bling,
Its a constitution ting,

Infinite Succession, An Exercise In Futility
Don't be surprised if I forget your name
It's nothing personal, you understand?! I just don't play these games
It's not for pride or because I'm reluctantly shamed
It's because I moved on the day's fruit was my aim
I know that I promised to be this or do that
But those promises were lies, a fortress quelled by

Swallow Dreams
Swallow dreams
The saddest of all, yet sweet and amazing
Passion draws near to they that dream, visualize the action before happening.
I give credit to they dream in the afternoon, than they that dream at night
Because creative are they that dream on daylight.
Analysing the system before acting,
The time we get isn't yet enough, soft thoughts that make

Succession
Parades in progress, coaches appear, and
Black-plumed horses dance,
They raise their heads and velvet blankets
Toggle as they prance!
The queen appears, the king is dead,
The servants gather ‘round,
Coronation appurtenances all arranged,
How deftly they confound!
The scepter raised, the ring is donned,
Quiet falls like dew,
Amidst the crowds colors blush
In very muted hues.
Born to this occasion,
He stands with glittering

Queen's grandson has been happily married
She smiled each time future child was carried
By Princess above all who is as lovely as her
Who we wanted to see when taking a tour.
To fact a child was meant to be precursory
Before ending up in a Royal nice nursery
And loving child of course each one will be
Who later

Seriem - Succession
The land is bare;
hard rock and exposed outcrops
lay open, like the pages of
an unread book for the story
of time is beheld by every
grain contained within.
Time passes slowly and the
land remains the same but
seeds of invaders are slowly
being transported into this
barren land.
The seeds embed themselves
into this dark and sombre
rock that was created when
the Earth was

Deep

a haunting
nocturnal menace
hoots
of

challenging
