The jovial jester
The gentle
jovial jester
persistently
playfully pesters
the repugnant
palace molded
in malice .
Until it’s cold
callous king
tries to sing
and for once
in his
lackluster life
can finally
creep out of
his cryptic crevice
and leave all his towers
of tears behind .
As he ventures out
into this
time wrinkled world
in search of himself .

A good king leaves a legacy!
such throne cannot stand the taste of time hence is full of malice and distastefulness.

The Jovial Jester
Hello, Edward,
I missed this one from a few years back. Again, you are the king of alliteration! For me, it speaks of someone/thing positive (the jester) encouraging and supporting someone/thing negative (the king) until they realize their courage and potential to be authentic and true. Inspiring!
Thank you!
