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. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Contest: Pleiades ‘K’ Sponsor: Kim Merryman Placed 2nd © 10th March 2017 *KEN means knowledge

Paul you did a great job on this poem. I was not home on the 13th of March. I am so pleased that my poem Little Bear was on the Home page. I am happy because I am proud of that poem. I just had to tell someone how I feel. Thank you for listening .

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)!!

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
