In the Castle of the King

Like a beggar I stood without Clothed in tattered dress of cheap flax The rich estate Lord with much clout Called me in surprised at kinds acts Inside table set very fine Ladden with scumptous varied food On which the master would soon dine How could I expect to share this mood When I extremely poor indeed But he had plan to draw me in Give me some of his meat as need For he had killed the fattest lamb Without blemish__ spotlessly clean This he would serve favorite guest In this castle of the great king Come dine you're invited my blessed

i'm with Gert, Sara. It's a shame this is fiction. It would be nice to have such a benevolent "king" or leader who went out of his way to help others. Very nice flow to the poem as well. Love, Carolyn

Great write, Sara! A pity that this is only fiction!!! Just to add to what I wrote about "Pilipp Reis": At least I received some years ago a letter from National Geographic in which they thanked me for my information on Philipp Reis as they did not know that he was the real inventor of the telephone. Yes, the translation and typing was quite a job but I enjoyed it...Gert
