The Pyramids

To the east of Indies. nor-west of Africa, Standing proudly on the land of Sahara, Trigonometrical domes they lie one on the side of another, Its the family of the Pyramids standing like brothers. Planned in the B.C. centuries by great kings , Built by slaves troubling their limbs- Protecting bodies of ' Pharoh's' acting like nurses, Saving the Egyptian kings from oblivion's curse. In the midst is the great Sphinx - With the face of a woman upto the pharynx; A great lion's figure constituting the rest; Resembling the Egyptian taste -one of the sculptures noted among the best. Like the thorns of a grey cactus- It would remain erect on the sandy caracus.

Now..take all these loverly words and instead of typing them in sonnet formate 4 lines/4 lines/4lines/2lines with end rhyme..type them in the shape of a pyramid and then it would be a concrete verse. Light & Love
