Headlines scream
distorted facts
all attempting
to discredit me.
Crowds come crawling
accepting lies
spilled from my lips
while I rob them.
Women faint
overcome with lust
disturbed by
animal magnetism.
Men huff
chests thrown out
trying hard
to best my stature.
Even with
this notorious reputation
the Tsarina still loves me
for I and I alone
have god’s ear
to save her son.

A single hard working mom of a soon to be teenage son. A poet and story teller I have wanted to write since I was a child. This space is where I share stories about myself and my life and the creative poetry that stirs my soul. My hope is you will pull up a chair and a cup of coffee delving into the world that I offer and you find simple enjoyment for a few moments.

I don’t know who Rasputin is but you have intrigued me with your poem. I will definitely research him. Great use of the word and a powerfully written piece. Well done!

Rasputin has always fascinated me. At school we had a history text book with a photograph of Rasputin in it, he was sitting surrounded by russian aristocracy dripping in jewels while he sat in his peasants clothes and long beard. His eyes burned out of the page.
The Actor Tom Baker (One of the best Doctor Who’s) played Rasputin in the film Nicholas and Alexandra. He gave a brilliant performance, I recommend it. 🙂

Cool. Like you fascinated although my introduction to him was as a baby. Rasputin by Bony M is still one of my favorite songs. 😝

I used to love that song as a toddler, my Nan used to play it and (apparently) I used to dance to it. Lol 😉
