A Poem by LAW Fraser

Here's a poem by LAW Fraser. The piece was inspired by stage directions from a Shakespeare play.

Stage, all enter left

 

Shout. Trumpets flourish

Satin cad cadets march in,

next footmen bring food to nourish

then tramp in…all manner of kin.

With a final frill, brings the Queen

who has followed the King

but he cannot be too keen,

since the Queen is the being

the crowd all wants to see.
