ODE TO A DEPARTED QUEEN – by Sunimal Perera: Montreal Canada She’s gone now This fluttering spirit of ethereal charm that gave a teetering world of derision caught up in an eternal maelstrom of negative winds a semblance of sanity. The grace and charm so well equipped the essence of goodness so displayed and so arrayed in a visibility that encompassed many continents as multitudes worshiped her memory and wept by the wayside as she passed. the serenity and calming grace she thus displayed through actions which were never swayed by bias and disrespectful space which to a world perhaps in retrospect will never again be so displayed in such a magnitude of overwhelming grace. © Sunimal Perera Montreal Canada Sept.20th. 2022 ...

“A tribute in poetry” – by Des Kelly Much has been said/written recently, regards the passing of our longest reigning Monarch of all time, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, and, in passing, I noticed this sad, but relevant tribute to her.

“KING CHARLES lll” – by Des Kelly With all due respect, e’Lanka bids welcome to King Charles lll & his Queen-Consort, Camilla. To follow in his Mother’s worthy footsteps, is the promise already made, by our new King, and there is no doubt whatsoever, about his pledge, because, after all, he IS his Mother’s Son and as a famous Oxford English phrase tells us, ‘What is bred in the bone, comes out in the flesh”.

The Queen is dead. Long Live the King! – By Aubrey Joachim Many of us were born in a country whose Head of State then was Queen Elizabeth II. Ceylon was still a fully-fledged member of the Commonwealth with a Governor General her resident representative in Colombo.

We now live in a country whose Head of State is still the British Monarch. The British Monarchy has existed for over a 1200 years. During this period 61 monarchs have worn the crown. As head of the Commonwealth the Queen was connected to 54 independent nations 14 of whom still have the British Monarch as their Head of State. All of these countries were at some stage a part of the British Empire – the heydays ...
