My kingdom needs me
To lend its people a hand.
Since they need me, I will be there
Because I am a noble girl
Who is strong and brave
I am a caring girl
Who helps people in need
When someone does not have enough
I am the girl who makes sure
They get what they need
No one is unsafe
When they are with me.
This poem fits more of Aristotle’s ideal characteristics for poetry than the first poem. For example, the girl wants to help her people because they need help. Aristotle’s guidelines encourage writers to make their characters do things for a reason rather than no reason at all. However, this poem is not entirely similar to Aristotle’s characteristics because the main character is a strong and noble woman rather than a man. The largest words in the Voyant cluster are “girl,” “need,” and “people,” which show these themes of necessity and female importance in the poem.
