Best Alexandria Poems

My daughters, I’m so very proud of you.
You have grown to become, fine young women.
Let not your hearts or lives be ruled by men.
Stand fast, and to your own desires be true.
Take what you need, but no more than your due.
Act cautiously, you are noblewomen.
Speak...

Long before Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians and Greeks, 
Before Hammurabi, Sargon and Ramses ruled 
The world below their feet;
Before biblical scenes and mythological dreams 
Of magical carpet rides,
I knew you back then 
Where sea breezes begin
And history was a gleam in your eye...  
Alexandria, Alexandria,...

They saw its light far out to sea;
An earthquake brought it down.
I wonder what the sailors did -
I hope they didn’t drown.

Oh, when will be Spring in Alexandria, 
The Chrysanths crave for company
The sea breeze brings a melody,
The day that will be spring in Alexandria. 
 
The flowers are going to bloom, 
Proud like the star-dressed Daffodil 
Dancing on the windy top of the hill, 
The...

Alexandria was a gallant knight,
She used to sit at Arthur’s Round Table.
Dressed as a boy, she helped knights fight evil
As the Blue eyed hero of this fable.

The young lady fell in love with Arthur,
But unknowing, he married Guinevere.
Alex’s heart was hurt, but she stayed true,
She...

I had a lekker time in Egypt
even though I didn’t visit a crypt

I drank, smoked, had fun with friends
later back on board someone stole my tens

still had fun on the last night there
and the cab ride was quite a scare

that was one of the ports...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 

There’s a new kid in town in DC
With an old and tired philosophy
To make everything free’s what she says
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 

With a theory of life adolescent
In which everyone wins prize and a present
You should not need to work, so she says
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 

Let’s...

purple silk, rooms perfumed in roses, celebrates
her victory...

I watched two people sitting side by side 
In an old Parisian style café 
Eating croissants, sipping cappuccino and sharing 
Glimpses of the past, present and future 
With one another.
So completely mesmerized with their deep - space eyes, 
The thought of me, anyone or anything...

Already 2 years old
Your getting so big and learning so much
Many memories I will never forget
Watching you learn to crawl and walk
Hearing you say "mama" and "dada"
Sweet and adorable, yet at times...
Very stubborn and difficult.
But in mommy's eyes you're perfect....

Matches lit the floor

Lately I have been thinking about the future and,
Last night I saw a bird fly through a broken window,
No sad song, no lullaby, just simply moving,
The other day I watch the stars and I question,
Between goals and success what make a man stand,
Far apart is...

Poetry and Words 

Comes in so many a different form

All depends and depending on who
it is written by 

What the particular subject or topic
is

And what it's initial and final intentions
are and maybe 

It can rhyme sometimes on the other hand
it maybe simplistic and therefore funny...
