Heavy The Head

by hullabaloo22

She made her bed in daffodils,

sun’s warmth, wind’s chills;

she’s tumbled down

to earthen brown.

In daffodils she made her bed,

left words unsaid

as there she wept,

her secret kept.

In daffodils, took her last breath,

a scented death.

She’s now too cold

for crown of gold.




Minute Poetry Contest contest entry


This is a poem about how the weight of responsibility can become too much to bear, and is inspired by William Shakespeare's famous quote from 'Henry IV' - 'Heavy is the head that wears the crown'.
The illustration is my own.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
