Honiton ruffles
Crafted on Devon bobbins
In a back-street living room
Spitalfield silk sewn
With simplicity of soul
captured her gracious beauty
White Lace for lovers
Flowing soft against her thigh
Shared dreams of royals at dusk
Lascivious lust in mind.

This was a response to d’Verse Meeting the Bar; the Choka
Anyway this was my second ever attempt at a Choka..I tried to understand the form. Queen Victoria did love Albert and married very young at the age of eighteen, she had nine children during her life-time, and was grandmother to 42 grand-children.

The image of Queen Victoria the matron has to be complemented with the young one…

I love the description of her fine, silk wedding dress of ruffles and lace. The choka is fun don’t you think? Well done!
