Diamonds Are For Ever

Third of June 2012  saw the 60 year reign of our Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, being marked with a Pageant on the River Thames, the like of which has not been seen for 350 years. True to tradition, the British weather blessed us with rain, but also true to tradition, neither the Queen nor her subjects were in the least deterred from enjoying the spectacle. So today, I found this Google image to accompany a cinquain written in honour of the occasion. 

Jubilee;
wet, windy,
bracing, exciting, moving.
God Save the Queen
celebration.

      Yep, they were good - AND they didn't get rained on, and end up as a damp squib! LOL
