Powerful expression here of: Powerful expression here of conformity and loss of freedom associated with it. Loved the image of earrings brings it to the fore, imo!
A truly pleasurable read!: A truly pleasurable read! Then a thought arises, switching one letter and out comes a whole other 'tail!' Mmm.... (musing)... pardon me, I'm off on a tangent...
Parliament is broken: This country has fallen so far, it no onger (if it ever did) listen to its people. Glory to those countries that have retained their right to fight back against them.

Thank you so much..: Thank you so much for your kind words. I wasn't sure myself what point I was trying to make when I wrote it. Thanks for providing some clarification. By the way, I see you're from Australia. I have a question for you..If you could live your life over again, would you live it up over or would you remain down under? G'day mate!
This poem beautifully: This poem beautifully captures the quiet anticipation and reflection that often accompanies travel.

But my initial take was that instead of butterflies in the tummy, like Rudolph there was reindeer bucking in the tummy!
Both amusing and engaging!: Both amusing and engaging! And in my opinion it highlights the public's superficial concerns and the darker side of royalty with a playful twist.
