Best Babylonians Poems


Premium Member Echoes of Ancient Tales
Written: June 22, 2023


In the realm of ancient lore, I yearn to reside,
To bear a deep dive into tales untied.
Achilles, a warrior with a heart of fire,
Hector, noble and valiant, to whom I aspire

Agamemnon, a leader with ambitions high,
Athena, wise and cunning, is always nearby.
The...

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,...

Dreams of The Battle of Thymbra, Lydian-Persian War

In the midst of a battle I awoke thrown
walking over the crimson red dead.
Found and drew the shaft from solid stone
standing on soil blood soaked in red!

My heart afraid but never was it alone
in cold silence stood there...

Sire she's been sighted
two miles south of Sinai,
our sentinels say she has brought a river,
her baggage train stretches into the ancient sands,
the envoys of her retinue spoke of marvelous gifts,
beasts and creatures of the Orient
gems that glitter like the eyes of children
summer baskets of gold...

Like Hannibal we crossed the pass and crossed 
   the Alps (okay, the Brynderwyn Hills) 
and a bridge too far on north-west passage.
   From out of the Valley of Mizpah 
to the fires of perdition at the gates of Sodom

Virgin
VIRGIN

Virginity made a promise to always remain a virgin
It’s all pride and dignity; so careful, least all will cave in
She got the deep well locked; not even her fingers can go in
She describes it all as homage to morality and the sixth law
Ignorant of any...

Premium Member The River of Life
I wish I could immerse myself 
in the pages of history, time, 
and deep reflection...letting go 
of everything I think I know 
and give myself another chance 
to clarify my perceptions and beliefs
in the river of life that flows.  

If only I could turn...

A Paradoxial Concept
Skyscrapers of glass 
and steel with spiky spires rise
over the brick houses
covered by their wide shadows.

The powerful amber sun 
over the Equinox
makes them glisten
as if they were cathedrals
in which dwells
a pretentious god,
not the God I worship.

Compared to them
we are small ants crawling,
frightened by their metrical...

The World Is My Dinner Plate
The world is my dinner plate
my wilderness school
there are many varities 
of dishes laid out for me
to swallow
to chew
to spew
many things to choose
oh, the lessons are many
and not all fun
the Lord has a since of humor
sometimes not
but, I find the world can be hot
and sometimes...

Galactic spectacle, we name you
For a Greek mythic giant.
You exist in mythic realms of space
Dwarfing our Milky Way,
The largest yet known of your kind.
We behold your bygone light, 
Your radio signal artifacts now only just 
Arriving from what you were
Three billion years ago.
So humble our...

The Hinge of History
THE HINGE OF HISTORY


The hinge of history swings in all directions 
As the happenings of the past are written down.
Out of all that has occurred since man's beginnings, 
Less has been recorded than waits to be found.

Babylonians kept chronicles of history,
Hebrews wrote the past as...

Ingenuity 4-19-21
To Babylonians, Ptolemy (and me),
The night sky was a glittering sea.
They called them all stars 
But (including Mars)
These “observers” were startled to see…

That charting their heavenly courses
And imagining bears, crabs and horses
They moved thru the seasons
But for confounding reasons
Some obeyed differing forces.

They called them “Wandering...

And than there was the time in the Lion's den
You know the one Daniel was in
He was suppose to feed the lions extra meat
Instead he brought vegetables for their treat
Again Gabriel stood his ground
So in the morning the prophet could...
