Nette Onclaud Poet Senryu

Egypt

her copper desert

flames old pyramid's headstone...

earth's timeless mystique


incense fill the wall

to seal odor of glory...

preserving legends

Duke Beaufort March 6, 2016 at 10:13 AM You picked her symbols and put them on display with a fiery red. Amazing that such things were built, but what purpose did they serve? I am thinking about this now because of you.
