Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

Celebrating Glory of the Ancient Olympic Games

Celebrating Glory Of The Ancient Olympic Games

Gifted verse from copper-clad rays of sunshine's gleaming mirth
Odes from an era, men competed measuring their worth
Olympic contests, arenas full of cheering faces
fame and glory given winners of marathon races
prowess of those Greek athletes brave, strong and so very bold
winners's adulation, worth far more than their weight in gold!
