i would love to, do tell!
Pft. You wish...kidding. Well... hm? How should I put it? You do know there's two people talking, yes? One is regular and the other is italicized, so re-read it or have the poem opened so I can explain. xD
Yeah, i get the two people talking. one of them is a king i understand
Yes. One is the king and the other is a fool, but do you know who is who? If not, I shall explain. In regular font, the king is speaking and in italicized it is the fool; however, in the end of the poem, the fool states, "Considering I am the king." Thus, you begin to question is the fool the king? Furthermore, was the king the fool? I'll let it sink in and once ya ponder 'bout it, I'll explain.
i think i'm starting to understand. I read it a couple more times
Okay. The "King" took over the land, but he wasn't the rightful heir to the throne, for it was the Fool who was the heir. The "King" either butchered, took advantage of the status by some means, or through other methods. The King wasn't aware of that the Fool was the rightful heir; thus, he may have forgotten over the years, the Fool survived and remained hidden, or he was young for the King to even recognize. Now, in the poem, the Fool kills the "King," and thus the reason in one sentence he mentions, "One to befit such a king...A kingdom as vast as the countryside," then a slight pause. The Fool whispered two sentences, "A fool's dream befitting one such as thee, For mocking the fool that had the right to rule..." The Fool gives the "King" insight who he is before he finally dies and the kingdom the "King" spoke of was heaven, another references to the death of the "King."
well that is very well thought out. a brilliant story
Thanks. I have others as well that have a story and the first ones that I've done kinda... suck really, but its getting better.
