Jennings Writer of: Poetry & Prose Referred By:Just wondered in.	Knighthood ABC’s Attempting to become the king’s crusader who defends all things; exacting pain for those that might gather to gain his throne will fight in town and field. Jousting or blade keeps those who yield life’s blood in glade midst heather’s blooms, no quarter set or path to tombs’ position get quiescent rest. Respect the crown, sovereign is blessed to rule this town until I fall. Valor or pain with those who call Xanadu’s reign your kingdom’s rule. Zealot or fool? ·············· When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. John Fitzgerald Kennedy Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers. Larry D. Jennings MM Award Winner
