To those who Dream

Serious Poems

I am a princess

I live in a palace made of marble

no –

mother of pearl



I have a pony

a thousand dresses

maids and valets

jewellery and crowns



I spend my time riding

bathing, preening, beautifying

being beautiful



I am evicted from my palace

my maids have found new jobs

my pony is sold and my jewellery seized



I wake up



When I dream next

I’ll remember to pay my taxes

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I'm not sure about this one. I've always had a hard time with free verse, and this didn't come out quite the way I wanted.
