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.

Hearts Broken On A Throne

What is heartbreak?

I wouldn’t know

Because I’ve never felt before

And I wouldn’t let myself

Feel the fire that burns

And they tell me I’m heartless

Or perhaps naive

But why would I want

To feel everything?

I may long for her

But that’d ruin things

Instead I sit

On a throne not broken

But it feels

Like I’m choking

Because I’ve never felt heartbreak

And I’ve never seen the world

Because you had me in your grip

Before I could even shove

And if I were anyone else

You’d let me be

But for now I sit

On a crown that’s been cleaved

And you try to find the crack

That has indented itself in my heart

But when you open me up

You’ll see

That all along

My heart had fallen

To dust

In your palm
