Lenten Poem IX
Inspired by the work of Andrew Roycroft (pastor and poet from Northern Ireland), I am attempting to offer Lenten poems in the style of medieval poets writing thirty-three poems, each thirty-three words long; one word for each year of Jesus' life. Collectively, they serve as commentary on the life of Jesus, focusing on His final week. Blessings.

Passion Week - Thursday, The Upper Room
The night was
a time for festivity.
A banquet table -
mirth, laughter and vivacity.
Friends, brothers truly,
young, full of vitality.
Thirteeen brethren pledged.
Two in contraposition.
One, trust pillaged.
One, humanity's redemption.
