Tone And Pet (A History Review) Comments

That's quite a soap opera, but nothing, compared to be on a poetry site. :) Another good one PP. I don't know why I never noticed you before, your style is a lot like mine, sometimes.

Thank you, Tee Cee, for positively commenting! Why do you think so many T.V. commercials and jingles get stuck in our heads? Music (and rhyme) have the power to imprint more permanently on the brain, than does mere prose. I even know some of my own poems by heart! Back in the days of Henry VIII and his 6 wives, divorce in the monarchy was unthinkable, so he had two of his wives beheaded when they couldn't provide him with a male heir. Also, it was the unacceptability of divorce amongst royals that permitted Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret's own father to become King, when their Uncle Edward VIII chose marriage to a divorcee over the throne. Yet in their lifetimes, Her Majesty's three eldest children all divorced. To re-phrase Bob Dylan: And the rules, they keep a-changin'.

I wish all history was taught with rhythm and rhyme. I would have remembered some of it. And THAT is what I call a satisfying (and poignant) ending. Thank you for sharing it. :)

Impressive quilling, Poetess...along with a most intriguing Poetess foot note. If I may be so bold to make a suggestion, that IMO, the above work might be even more structurally sound than it already is by employing a nonagon of quatrain Stanzas...It will stretch the poem out more and I believe make it more eye pleasing. Either way...stellar crafting, indeed.~FjR~ I
