A Quick Review of The King of Kings (Spoilers)

I watched The King of Kings yesterday, and I enjoyed it for the most part. But before I talk about the things I liked about the movie, I will talk about the negatives first. I generally like to talk about the negatives first so I can end on a positive note. While I enjoyed this movie, one thing I disliked was Walter’s behavior in the beginning of the film. His father (who is Charles Dickens) is trying to recite his story A Christmas Carol on stage, but Walter and his cat make a huge mess of things.

My Journal's Gilded Pages


My writing journal’s pages

Are gilded and bright.

Its pages glitter and shine

In the warm sunlight.


These gilded pages

Are filled with different things

Like poems and stories

Of dragons and kings.


I use my feather pen

To write riveting tales

Of boats that soar in starry skies

Beside large flying whales.


I use my feather pen

To write poems about birds

Who sing of faraway lands

And use strange, amazing words.


I write stories of the past

I write stories of the present

I write stories of the future

Which I find very pleasant.


My writing journal’s pages

Are gilded and bright

Not because of the gold leaf

But because of the words inside, right?
