Critiquing Greek Hieroglyphics

Fanciful musings written in challenged braille scribbles midst reveries' graffito on stone-cold deafening walls, like Greek hieroglyphics for the poetically deranged awaiting symmetry's reflectively critiqued paroxysms

The depth of thought in this short poem is staggering, Paloma. Consider this pesky paroxysm: the then modern scholars of Greek civilization were critiquing the writings of the ancient Egyptian civilization. Those ancient hieroglyphics were written on the walls of the pyramidal tombs. A feat which even the mighty Greeks could not accomplish w/all their great wisdom. Very strong dose of existentialism this poem is. Great poetic offering, dear. Love and peace to you.

hieroglyphics, hystronics and harmonics; petroglyphs, paragryphs and phonics; I get so co-fused, but soooo a-mused by your mental orthodontics! (not to mention my gray matter gets peroxidized;-)

Short but clever, Paloma. Here the Egyptian Rosetta Stone comes to mind...that also had Greek hieroglyphics inscribed on it. Deciphering these signs must indeed be very challenging! ~ Regards // paul

Most poetry is challenging, wouldn't you agree my friend? Thanks for your thoughts Paul, always appreciated.
