Lenten Poem VIII
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
One last foray
into piety's honored stronghold.
That storied day,
the betrayer's kiss sold.
From Jerusalem's environs
you would not retire.
Once darkness fell,
the murderers conspire
to bring about
corrupt hearts' desire.
