Winter Flurry’s turrets stood tall and proud An illusion in the misty clouds Princess Kelly knew that was not so As she looked at it in the blowing snow
Her white dress swirled all around As the wind blew making a lonely eerie sound Sadness permeated her soul As she realized she was all alone
The only royal left to carry on As she looked over her Kingdom Her family taken from her in one fell swoop Caused by an evil greedy Duke
He came from a distance land Attacking and killing everyone in his path She escaped and hid in the woods With a knight wearing a metal hood
They managed to avoid the evil Duke’s army Until they finished pillaging causing carnage They took and took until nothing was left Then marched on leaving the kingdom bereft
Princess Kelly knew she was now in charge With one lone Knight for a guard She knew she needed to carry on for those left That all needed to help pick up the mess
With no time to mourn her great loss She prayed to God to help her pick up this cross Thus with the Knight’s faithful help They rebuilt the Kingdom to great wealth
She became Queen and he King Across the land wedding bells began to ring They had children and she had a family again She and her husband had a long and happy reign
They rebuilt the castle and army stronger So no attacking forces could plunder They gave thanks to God every day For all the blessings that came their way

About this poem:
A Facebook friend of mine wanted me to write a poem using her name as a princess or her little cousin's - I used her name as the princess and her little cousin as Winter Flurry for the Kingdom. Her name is Winter. It's a silly little poem to honor 2 people and their names.
Lovely poem how sweet of you to write this for your friend and her daughter they are blessed to have you as their friend

How kind and thoughtful of you to honor your friends in this manner. I'm sure it has brought much joy and pleasure to them. You are such a warm, kind and caring person ~ your writing shows this.
Thank you Pinks. I'm so glad I could give you a sweet memory of your sister who I assume no longer lives here on Earth? But is in God's loving arms. Take care.
Ah! now I understood why we should keep all the poets and poetess happy who knows they can make us immortal with their pen. you are a Wordsmith.. waiting for your next post..
I thank you youras for your kind and faithful words. I did post a poem yesterday called Darkness to Light but no one seems to like it yet - it is kind of intense about the crucifixion but Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter are coming up.
This poem was published in the NV Moonlighter for the month of February 2020. I headed up the section of Children's Poems - so I guess I'm not as old as I think I am!! As I said before - wrote it for a friend and her little cousin.
