Swoosh

My fascination with the Tudor is kind of weird.I could shoot facts at you all the way to Elizabeth the first death.So obviously I had to choose the most interesting women Anne Boleyn .

The walk of memories
     My life for what it was
     I was a daughter,a sister,a mother a wife a queen
                  A daughter with no freewill
                  A sister put last until I became first
                  A mother,Oh my Elizabeth I shall miss you most
                  A wife to a man who wanted a son
                  A Queen to the people who called me a w***e
     Until Now I am,
                  A daughter who couldn't be saved
                  A sister deserted one executed the other exiled
                  A mother,Oh my Elizabeth I shall miss you most
                  A wife to a king,courting another queen
                  And a queen who knows that she will die
The last plank is placed on my scaffold
The swordsman awaits me
My feet are brave, my heart a coward
I welcome the mixture of emotion,the last bit of air I shall breathe
The blood in my veins freezes,the ice in my finger tips
Kneeling before the block
Commending my soul
Swoosh
                  I am not a queen
                  no longer a daughter
                  half a sister
                  forever a mother,Oh Elizabeth I shall miss you the most

Yeah like in history you hear about Anne Boleyn for like a split second.No one understands that if it wasn't for her or her daughter England would be so different.

Ah, this is beautiful!
I love the Tudor era so much! My favourite! I can honestly claim to beating my history teacher in a quiz about them. It was great, because then we got to sponge her! It was the last day of term and it wasn't my idea... I do feel guilty though...
Anne Boleyn is the interesting one, and I've always wondered what emotions washed through her firey spirit as she climbed up to the scaffold... I wonder if at the end of it all, the girl who won the heart of a king, the woman who couldn't produce a son, and the queen who helped cause the reform of the church and was named as the great w***e (haha, i think i just repeated most of what was in your poem!)... well, was she still so brave and proud?
This poem is perfect - I love it! If there was one thing Anne Boleyn was truly, unselfishly passionate about it was her daughter, and you've shown this so well here! Great write, great read!

a creative interpretation of what was~ brought into the present view through your eloquent poetic~

Wow very sad!, i've heard of Ann Boylen. Thanks for giving us a brief summary though in a poetic way! very creative!

It is really moving how she keeps holding on to her love for her daughter. How after being wife, queen... all the cares about is her bound with her daughter.
It has a lot of emotion. Nicely done.
