Spring

The world was overcome with cold,
Everything seemed frozen or dead,
The snowdropp flower acted bold,
And caused a change that would soon spread,
The sun was warmed so sought to aid,
Hoping that others would be led,
In time the chill started to fade,
Which in turn woke a young maid,
The maiden gained the touch of life,
For she picked a flower she thought nice,
Which was the one that fought through strife,
She then sought to craft paradise,
Everything the maiden spied,
Gained beauty with which to entice,
Till the entire countryside,
Was fill with beauty far and wide,

The world again had its old charm,
For with life it began to teem,
The cold seemed to have done no harm,

Boudicca

A past king of East Anglia,
Ruled with men from a foreign shore,
Despite a cultural barrier,
There was no cruel bloody war,
Life was better than twas elsewhere,
But of somethings all weren't aware,
Had all intentions been made clear,
There would have been due cause to fear,
Lest it ends up being misplaced,
Choose carefully where to put trust,
Failure to means what's to be faced,
Could well seem to be unjust,
Alliances don't always last,
When the king died things changed fast,
As their claim to the land was lost,
The common people paid the cost,

Once the Anglian king was dead,
His wishes were not respected,
Liberties were taken instead,

Summer

The days were beautifully serene,
And those that lived them were carefree,
Warmed by sights that were to be seen,
As nature's greatness was set free,
One to which the sights did appeal,
Quite soon found herself filled with glee,
Due to how the sun made her feel,
And flaunt what she once did conceal,
The girl wished to be the sun's bride,
As for him she was urged to pine,
The sun made her feel good inside,
For in his presence she would shine,
All that the sun managed to light,
Showed the world that the girl was fine,
She made for an entrancing sight,
As a love she sought to ignite,

To try to make the sun her prince,
The girl acted at every chance,
A love was lost and he's not loved since,

Together in death (escape heaven)

In a distant forgotten land, two clans fought for the upper hand,
In a dispute regarding how the other's estate should expand,
The violence was endured for years, resulting in a wealth of tears,
For numerous died and many more encountered their darkest fears,
It looked like peace could not be found, or that life would again be sound,
And only the estate's heirs escaped the violence that was abound,
Though the two were kept from the war, they still met with things to abhor,
And eventually they came to feel they could not take anymore,
By chance one evening in the fall, the two both grieved in a church hall,
And unbeknown they then each decided to heed the other's call,
The maiden was sure that the squire, was someone that she could admire,
While he found himself certain that she could kindle a great desire,
With anxiety they were filled, as their minds dismissed what was willed,
And they failed to have the reddening that they each underwent stilled,
When the moment ended at last, they both regretted what had passed,
But they failed to forget due to the spell that the other had cast,
They went off to separate ends, while each one of their minds defends,
The inappropriate smiles that they wore while mourning their dead friends,
Although it was only fleeting, there was great wealth to their meeting,
Because there were subtleties within each of the pair's coy greeting,

A princess' ordeal

In a backward forgotten land,
Where magic was yielded by man,
Lived a princess who wasn't bland,
Yet she was ignored by her clan,
She often craved to hear a rant,
She tried everything that one can,
But soon learned she'd no confidant,
With which to talk and gallivant,
Had she had someone she'd have been,
Less adventurous and caprice,
And ready for dangers unseen,
So she could live her life in peace,
A wizard that'd been made a flea,
By a foe that he tried to fleece,
Craved to reclaim what used to be,
So that he could quell his envy,

He hijacked the princess's life,
By filling her head up with advice,
With the intent of causing strife,
