ABCD, Clerihew Four Line Poetry Contest

Sponsor- Joseph May

Napoleon, the Military Commander, Rose to prominence as the indefatigable French leader. Stood on victor’s podium for long, but Fate pulled down Bonaparte. A deflated balloon in Waterloo, with his armaments torn apart!

I enjoyed your entry for this contest, Valsa. Napoleon, like many world leaders, failed to grasp that the power they were wielding was not of themselves. The ego became the source of their own destruction. Very good description of the man and his demise. Hugs, Bill

Valsa, your clerihew is a splendid choice, showcasing your skillful composition. Napoleon, a remarkable leader, fearlessly clashed with countless European nations, paving the path to an immense dynasty, where he boldly crowned himself emperor.
