Royal Voices

Palace Games With Sharon And Cathy

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Ingrit started sifting through the pages

Like a colander of flour

The ventriloquist taught skills of mages

Sharing in detail, secret powers

She began throwing her voice around

in each room of the house

Finessing volumes, soft and loud

Practicing lip syncing on a mouse

The rooms with vaulted ceilings

Were the hardest to get used to

It echoed with high pitched squealing

Like Robin Hood in tights, review

The king, confused and hearing voices

Called for the princess to assist him

The sorcerers plan to destroy us

Our future’s looking rather grim

Ingrit grinned, pleased with her antics

Egged her father’s fears along

The thought of making his world manic

Made her glad, though it was wrong

The latest nanny tried to tame her

But Ingrit locked her in the tapestry

Buried in a mound of words

Throwing her voice at her, so dastardly

As she skipped off, down the road

She heard a voice that stopped her in her tracks

There sat a blue eyed, speckled toad

Skillfully throwing her voice back….
