A measure of strength
Design of character laced
with regal bearing

Reminiscent of tussle
for power typifying
kings of yesteryears

Pompous appearance
on the podium of honor
befitting stature

Written for Leo's  Haiku Heights #263 with prompt  -  measure

  5. Elvis had a measure of strength, but in the end, he proved to be weaker than many.

  8. Unfortunately 'The King' also had a measure of weakness that was his undoing!
