“The Involuntary Princeling by Stewart Stafford The candle's blaze grows distant fast, Quenched to an ember spark, unseen, Carriage taken in larceny's grasp, Darkness made far bank unclean. Daubing a sovereign slogan, In violet shadows unmasked, A delinquent reunion reprieved, A doggerel name outcast. Trade winds howl to storming, As fireballs 'neath seas seek to atone, The red-crowned crest now stakes its claim, On writhed Rosetta's key stone. © Stewart Stafford, 2024.

The Involuntary Princeling by Stewart Stafford
The candle's blaze grows distant fast,
Quenched to an ember spark, unseen,
Carriage taken in larceny's grasp,
Darkness made far bank unclean.
Daubing a sovereign slogan,
In violet shadows unmasked,
A delinquent reunion reprieved,
A doggerel name outcast.
Trade winds howl to storming,
As fireballs 'neath seas seek to atone,
The red-crowned crest now stakes its claim,
On writhed Rosetta's key stone.
