Welcome to another Crap Poem as part of my Creative Coping Strategies campaign.
It’s been a quiet couple of weeks following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ii, but I decided that, not only could I draw something to dedicate to her passing, I could also write a poem.
So, although I tried, I am fully aware this is another one that isn’t in any way accomplished, but still contains some of the many thoughts I’ve had since her death.
I hope you like some of the rhymes, which took me some time!

Rain
They queue in the rain
As the world floods with pain
With no one to blame
For the end of your reign
My eyes fill with tears
I remember past years
Celebrations and cheers
Royal events fuelled by beers
We all feel so sad
Knowing all that you had
Was a lifetime of duty
And a mum without dad
Your life was your job
Never lazy or a slob
Warm and inviting
But assumed as a snob
We all feel so blue
In a long mourning queue
Whether outside a chapel
Or at home with a brew
But passing away
Removes the rough grey
Of families feuding
You’ve erased some afray
So you never got
A single clear shot
To see your clan happy
An emotional dry rot
Honking trumpets like geese
Announce you’re deceased
With your family waiting
I hope you’re at peace
Like a trotting proud horse
Your death will enforce
The start of an era
Carolean, of course.
As we move on today
I know, in your way
You’ve left us a routemap
A positive highway
But I’ll never forget
Eyes cascading with wet
As I heard of your passing
Saw your families regret
They queue in the rain
As we all feel the pain
Of a family grieving
for the end of your reign
