Hail, Son of David!

Haiku for a grand entrance.

Jesus, the failed king

entering Jerusalem

riding a donkey.

The crowd goes crazy

greeting their king. Days later

they will turn on him.

Yet his words brought hope,

the promise of God's friendship.

Memories are short.

Hail, Son of David!

riding on your borrowed colt,

in your borrowed time.
