They Came With Their Medals & Swords, By God! Poem by Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr

A Modern-Contemporary Quaternary
Haiku Verse with the syllabic
requirement of Traditional Haiku




Silver Swords Gleaming

High over Spirited Cloth

Trumped By Feathered Hats


An Ancient Order

Respected Throughout the World

By Their Christian Work


Like Vatican Guards

They're Present At Papal Mass

Knights of Columbus!


They Came With Their Swords

Wore their Medals Proud, By God

For the Wood of The Cross.
