National Poetry Month: The Conscience of the King

The Conscience of the King

Lenore killed once,
Lenore killed twice,
Lenore killed all for her father’s life

Lenore killed four and
Lenore killed five,
she played her game and kept her side

Lenore killed six, and
Lenore killed seven—
she didn’t care who she sent to heaven

Lenore tried to kill eight
and she tried to kill nine
but Lenore had run out of time

Lenore aimed at nine but
instead killed ten,
she murdered her father once and again.

The Conscience of the King
(from the point of view of Lenore)


I killed him,
I didn't try-
my father!
No!
He died...
