Ode to the Tudors

by sirius   Nov 11, 2005


I'll tell ye of a family,
the Tudors by name,
who i can honestly say,
are truly insane,
the first born was rainbow,
such an arrogant one,
always had to be known,
fame she thought could not take too long,
she now has a son,
a Zander by name,
and since his birth,
shes been going insane,
post-natal depression,
or so they say,
but still we were surprised,
by what she did one day,
she was trapped and caught,
in a cold dark place,
so O.D.ed on drugs,
was freedom she'd chase,
next there's Marcus,
the poor lad,
disowned by his family,
has surely gone mad,
he is back here with us,
but the action took its toll,
for now poor Marc,
can't trust a sole,
next is I,
Sirius by name,
who unlike the rest,
is classed as quiet sane,
problems i have,
and secrets i keep,
enough to get me,
into trouble quite deep,
Orion is next,
poor middle child,
depression and paranoia,
or so it is filed,
lives deep in darkness,
full of torment and pain,
multiple suicide attempts,
13 to his name,
despite therapy and drugs,
we know more are to come,
be it by knife or drugs,
hanging or gun,
next there is Crystal,
obsessed with success,
if she was to fail,
what would happen I can't guess,
Jet was the sixth,
but he is no longer here,
he's gone to a place,
where many fear,
the doctors did there best,
but it was all too late,
so poor little Jet died,
at the mere age of eight,
Luna is last,
last of the lot,
she is the child,
who many forgot,
she feels so abandoned,
and never quite whole,
now she can't,
get close to a sole,
Now for the parents,
such an odd pair,
all this came of their family,
yet they do not care,
"a test of god",
is what they'll say,
as they try to wish,
all their problems away,
so this is the end,
of my awful tail,
of a family where sanity,
is as rare as the grail.

    First, your family is huge! =) This is really great, you had me going to the very end. Emotions spread through every lines and you had the flow right there. It's easy to read and understand. The way you link each member to the next, the transition is really smooth. Great work there and this is your first poem?! =D
