    A QUEER QUEEN
    You misheld that faith of yours
    And disdained this shrine--my heart
    So ordained I one quiet queen;
    Yet often I scour the shrine
    For faithful queens who there pray
    Not hideous hawks which there prey
    And behold you--a queer queen.

    Great play of words... and storytelling. I had to read and reread to get a clearer understanding, but I enjoyed the depth of emotion and the strength you seem to have gained from your unfortunate experience.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
