Ah, the life of the wealthier element. When the average person imagines wealth, they imagine expensive cars, a massive house, a staff of helpers and not having to work for a living. These are all well and good, but there is another side of the coin. Networking becomes the primary concern as social events now fill the time that work once occupied, and sometimes people become little more than bargaining chips or showpieces. You have shown this to be the case for the anonymous protagonist of this poem.
Royalty must have a rougher life than we imagine, because you describe the "queen" as a lonely figure that was once desired for physical beauty but was cast aside as she aged. Once a prized specimen, she is now old furniture tossed into an attic, so to speak... that is another one of life's many unpleasant realities. You have shown that the rich lifestyle is not all that it is cracked up to be in a convincing manner that is almost song-like, as someone before me said. Titled nobility or simply rich, the woman appears to have a sad future in what amounts to a gilded cage, and she can do next to nothing to change it. That is sad, and the work emphasizes that point quite well.
Oh, I simply loved how you wrote this poetry, and I feel sad facing the realities in this world. Either way, the message was sent and it came out crystal clear.
This is a sad disheartening picture of the life of one who might appear to have it all but has nothing of lasting value. She is desired but not loved. You really came to grips with a life that appears to be something it is not. It can be a life on Cob Hill as well as Knob Hill. I liked the write. I felt empathy for the poor little rich girl. Dale
