VICTORIA

A knock on the door, she was early, perhaps late
From two centuries ago, she was actually here
A young Princess, a famous Queen soon to be
Sitting down demurely at the small dining table
With slight German accent, but still well spoken
An appetite seemingly held in reserve this night
When a friend asked if she was ready to rule
In silence, she smiled and nodded with grace
But her powerful determination was very clear
A modern woman for the age, but eager to learn

Good morning,
There is a sense of dignity throughout this poem, much like the Queen and her era. I know a little about her, but have the feeling through your words, that even though she may not speak much, especially with her reserved appetite, she will reveal a lot. Enjoy your time together! I'm going googling and refreshing my thoughts about this unique woman, spending a little time with her, too.
Thank you!
L

Seems to me, that this more prose than a poem, an article, if you will. Interesting, but ...
