Side Story

A Poem by Blue Ivory

I do not need to be called beautiful.

Say it to your princess.

I’m simply her handmaiden.

A side story will do just fine.

A very brief poem, but what i can understand from it is that, judging by its tone of voice, there lies a sardonic expression. The female narrator acknowledges the hyperbolic gesture of the counterpart and refuses to be treated with hackney. (So many women are being addressed as beautiful that there is a meretricious perception to it). If, on the other hand, the tone of voice is informative and shows a point of deduction from a not so serious cause, she is simply being humble and accepts her subordination. I conclude that my first explanation is congruent to your lovely verse. A fun read and thank you! =)

Power comes from these few words. Side stories matter, but you deserve to be the main story every time :)

A great little poem! Side stories don't have to worry about public appearances and royal obligations ;}

No side story. Main event only

Ah well the handmaiden's tale might be more bawdy. I suspect she is less fragile and delicate of form and health. A very interesting twist on affairs of the heart.
