STORY STARTER
Write a poem or short story from the perspective of royalty, which focuses on a specific topic of your choice.
It could be real royalty or a fantasy world, but try to imagine how they would feel differently about your chosen theme due to their position.
Payment
It pays to wear the crown, with Jewells of times gone by.
Diamonds sewn into the fabric, made from those who died.
It pays to wear the crown, and smile at the passing crowds.
They don’t see what goes on beneath, you want to scream out loud.
It pays to wear the crown, the velvet crushing your skull.
The weight of responsibility, a life so empty it’s almost always dull.
It pays to wear the crown, I’ll tell you every day until I’m blue.
Don’t ever try and trade places with me whatever you do.
