Today’s word is “encomium” … a formal expression of high praise. (Dictionary.com)
King
The way he struts himself about,
Would make a person think,
That all encomia were his alone,
And to him all should drink.
Words so eloquently pronounced,
Phrases that seemed to float,
Paragraphs of wisdom,
Hallmarked the things he wrote.
Oh, if only his actions had proved,
His ideas to be perfection,
He would not have suffered the wrath of those,
Who now call for his rejection.
