Poetry Friday: King of Griefs by Sara Lewis Holmes

[slayground]

He's the King
in riot gear,
a mob surrounds the throne --
You're mine -- and you --
and you -- you're mine -- he tells his fears,
but still they moan,
knowing he is armed
with only poetry
and tears --
-- King of Griefs from the novel Letters From Rapunzel by Sara Lewis HolmesThis poem has been posted with permission from the author. Thank you, Sara

Hi Mary Lee! Thanks for stopping by my blog. :)

I love love LOVED the poetry aspect to this novel, and when I read it, I even considered reviewing it on a Poetry Friday. But I didn't, though in my review (http://blaine.org/sevenimpossiblethings/?p=598), I talked a bit about all the poetry-talk in it.

Great Poetry Friday entry!

Have a good weekend, Little Willow . . .

I also love the stories within - her take on various fairy tales.

You enjoy the weekend as well!
