I like the diction that you've used and how you have phrased things, though ... I can't sense the urgency at the moment. o.O
I just feel as if things are building up and preparing for the worst, though that could just be me.
Great stuff, either way.

Yes, I tried to use a more casual kind of voice than I would otherwise use for this type of story; a little bit more 'I lost' rather than 'oh shit, I'm dead'. Hoped it would emphasise the 'game' that is courtly intrigue. I don't know how successful it was but that was the idea behind it.
Thanks, and I'm thrilled you liked it.

Great poem. I'm doing a six word contest of my own. The info's in my journal. You should participate.

Cool, I just popped over to check it out. Looks like a heap of fun, I think I might whip something up for it.

Very interesting word choice- leaves a lot to be wondered while still leaving a prominent image in one's mind. *highfives*

Yay! Thrilled you liked it and thanks doable for the fave. I came up with this one... suddenly but developed it slowly which is where I think my best work comes from.

I think sometimes the best poems are the ones that spend a while fermenting in the subconscious, then suddenly explode out into words. (:
