King

Christ, the King of kings Of whom my soul sings Born in a manger His life in danger No palace, no bed No place to lay head Walking everywhere No carriage to spare Riding a donkey No horse ride swanky A crown of sharp thorns The King's head adorns A reed placed in hand Not a sceptre grand Scarlet robe mocking Such treatment shocking He endured all pain And then rose again One day, He'll return World to overturn The King glorious Christ victorious

Such a beautiful poem summing up the vile treatment He was given, rather the suffering He willingly endured, though He was King of kings! Congratulations on your first place win dear Joanna !

Joanna, I always enjoy reading your faith-based poems and this is right up there among your best. I find it difficult writing rhymes with short lines but you make it look easy. Well done, and thanks for the blessing in words ~ John
