Sara Kendrick Poet Quatrain

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

Carolyn Devonshire July 22, 2010 at 7:25 AM 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

Gert W. Knop July 22, 2010 at 5:04 AM 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
