Ken

Ken  (Pleiades)                                      

Kneeling in prayer I’m
Kissed by heavenly rays
Kindling in me flames of
Knowledge bestowed for life
Keeping me strong, safe from
Knuckling under pressure
King of my humble realm.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 3/12/2017 8:26:00 PM Paul this is very lovely. One thing, we were not supposed to use proper nouns like names of people. Maybe you can call it King (and change it back later. I just want you to be on the winner list)!! Login to Reply Paul Callus Date: 3/13/2017 12:00:00 PM Thank you, Andrea. Yes, names is against the rules, but in this case 'ken' means knowledge, so I hope it won't be mistaken for a name (that's why I inserted a short note below the poem. Also, the title is not supposed to be included in the poem itself. Regards // paul
