There was a king called Charlemagne
Charles the first also his name
King of the Franks in seven sixty eight
Later the king of Italy
Remembered throughout history
By the designation Charles the Great!
Since in the West Rome’s Empire fell
The books about those days do tell
He was the first in three whole centuries
To bear the title “Emperor”,
The Holy Roman Emperor,
Crowned so by Pope Leo number three.
Since the Roman Empire
He was the first king to acquire
Most of Western Europe in his grasp
Of which he ruled for 13 years
Until he left earth’s mortal sphere
In eight one four when he breathed his last.what is an acrostic? a poem about acrostics, an example of an acrostic, an acrostic poem, the best acrostic poem ever written
Thanks for the history lesson Kerin,
ReplyDeleteHave always wondered at the name of Charlemagne but hadn't thought to look him up.
Would like your permission to re-blog this piece chez moi:

All that's missing is a brief bio in the third person.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Hi, wow thanks for the comment... that's almost a first! You are welcome to reblog this! Anything that could potentially send traffic my way is a good thing :) When you say "brief bio" do you mean about me?
ReplyDeleteKerin,
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! And yes, a brief author's biography of yourself that I can include along with a link to your main page would be helpful. Anywhere from a few sentences to a short paragraph should do.
