Violets are blue my dear, roses are red
Henry loved Anne but he chopped off her head.
They called her a witch and a sorceress too
Her web of six fingers as proof it was true.
She swore her own innocence till her last breath
Yet slice of the ax brought her to bloody death.
Some say she still haunts us, more angry than most
All guests at the Tower, beware of Anne’s ghost!

Very very very beautiful poem, Christine.
I like it very much.
Hopefully, God willing, Prince Harry won’t turn out to be another Henry VIII.
I hope he and Meghan will be very happy.

I think they broke the mold after Henry, he was one of a kind! On the other hand, Henry as a young man was reportedly tall, handsome, red-haired, very athletic, supportive of games and the military… (gasp!) But no, that is where the similarities end, I’m sure.

With fingers crossed (and 12 fingers crossed on the ghostly hands of Anne Boleyn), hopefully that is indeed where the similarities end.

Hehe! Well anyway, the ghost of Anne is surely backing Meghan.

Mother if Elizabeth First, I believe, must have come from good stock because Elizabeth was no pushover!

Yes definitely! When I study about Anne, Henry and Elizabeth I, I can definitely see the similarities in stubbornness — and a bit of egotism too 🙂

Great post, I just live Anne Boleyn. She is definitely my favourite wife of Henry VIII- probably because her end is so harrowing.
Love the blog too!
