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.
What If
What if,
I don’t want to be the queen,
The fairest of the land.
What if I don’t want that?
Have they ever thought about that?
What if,
I want to live out my teenage years,
Without the fear of suddenly being summoned to the throne.
What if I just want to be normal?
Have they ever thought about that?
What if,
I want to go to Tesco’s by myself,
Without somebody watching over my shoulder,
Just in case.
What if I want my own independence?
Have they ever thought about that?
What if,
I don’t want to continue the legacy of my mum and dad?
What if,
I wasn’t made to be a princess,
Or a queen?
What if I want something different?
Have they ever thought about that?
