Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme Royal

The Mystery of Egypt

The glory that was Greece; the grandeur that
was Rome. The mystery of Egypt and
the Pharaohs' giant tombs. A Sphinx-cat
guards all treasures past in Ancient Egypt's land

Today the Sphinx bears witness to miles and
miles of sand.  Glory faded, dessication
~ Pharaohs' pyramidal desecration



         Iambic Pentameter

Caren Krutsinger July 27, 2019 at 4:08 AM I have been fascinated with so many things about ancient Egypt, but prefer to learn about it fro afar, as I do not think they would like an assertive woman who speaks her mind as hard as I do. I like your iambic pentameter poem, my friend.

Line Gauthier July 25, 2019 at 3:26 PM well done, Gershon. Egypt has always fascinated me. Gershon Wolf July 25, 2019 at 3:35 PM Yes, and it has fascinated me as well... Although it's about the last place on earth I'd ever go, besides Iran, N. Korea, Iraq or Afghanistan. (I don't go where I'm not wanted and/or actively hated. I have enough problems already). :) gw

Tom Cunningham July 25, 2019 at 3:25 PM Empires come and go but would love to see them all close up( the pyramids and tombs) but sadly not the safest place these days. Tom. Gershon Wolf July 25, 2019 at 3:33 PM You're right about that... Grave robbers are bolder than ever nowadays. :) gw

Michelle Faulkner July 25, 2019 at 2:48 PM I see you are getting your Poe on today (as in Edgar Allen, that is) although I wonder if 'pyramidal' is an actual word? Gershon Wolf July 25, 2019 at 3:32 PM Pyramidal is, of course, a word. It rhymes with 'in the middle.' :) gw
