Majesty, Open Window on an Island History
Today Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11 is ninety years-old, the longest serving monarch in British
history. Here’s wishing Her Majesty a very Happy Birthday.

There
will be tributes paid across the world far greater than mine, but I could not
let the occasion pass without marking it on the blog.

This
poem is a villanelle.
MAJESTY, OPEN WINDOW ON AN ISLAND HISTORY
Sixty-four
years on the throne,
dedicated
to serving her country
a
much loved, respected queen
A
sunny smile for any occasion
marking
milestones of pageantry,
sixty-four
years on the throne
Classless
greetings for everyone
unfazed
by royalty, icon of dignity,
a
much loved, respected queen
Her
innermost thoughts unknown
to
those she serves daily, faithfully,
sixty-four
years on the throne
Horse
riding, a life-time passion,
imaging
a very human personality,
a
much-loved, respected queen
No
abuse of wealth of position
through
years of political history;
sixty-four
years on the throne,
a
much loved, respected queen
