The Monarch (3rd Attempt)

(Note: sorry about the multiple posts.)

Strolling through

the church courtyard

I passed the purple flowers

 

and suddenly

a host of butterflies appeared

and swirled about me

in mad abandon.

 

This floating laurel

of fluttering wings

surrounded me

and became my retinue.

 

As I walked among them

I heard them singing:

 

“Glory to God

on high!

King David

has returned to us!”

 

I did nothing

to dispel

their myth

 

as I stepped

into my car

and drove away.

What kind of car does King David drive?

I see him in a convertible of some type.

Excellent imagery, Buddah.  And as Kelly said, its good to see you writing, mate.

Thanks one and all for the hearty welcome back.  I am enjoying writing again.

 

Tova, King David drives a white 2003 Honda Accord. The only thing that's royal about him is that he can be a royal pain in the ass sometimes.


Thanks, Moskowitz
