Best Dynasty Poems

Encased in an isolated castle of an old fool’s paradise,  
A decaying dagger rests upon a distressed oak table.  
Frayed book pages scatter across termite-riddled floors.  
The calligraphy carries echoes of triumphant battles,  
Vividly etched in ink.  

A revered legacy...

As early as C.629 a Chinese monk Xuanzang of Jingtu temple 
Motivated by the poor quality of translations of Buddhist scripture
Undertook a hazardous journey to bring the original from India
Despite the border being closed at the time due to a war.

He travelled through Gansu, Qinghai...

There are teams

There are great teams
Then, there are dynasties
In the world of women's sports
There have been few that measure up

To the 2019 USA Women's World Cup Soccer Team
Every one of these 23 talented women
Has been groomed for this purpose their whole lives
Playing, working, training, focusing,...

I hear Donald Trump
would love to bring to Republican plutocracy
what Abraham Lincoln represented for civilly warring democracy,
but that anti-enslavement resolution
is too hard for me to focus and sustain
in Trump is DivineTrump Land.

What remains most easily
is Donald Trump
as a Ronald Reagan rerun,
a bit of black and...

Scattering spellbound in search of this utopia
Minds-eye in shortfall dissects one's monopoly
Through no choice of own approach it sloppily,
Exude to a position such promised, Ethiopia-

As the diminishing dream on landscapes ensemble  
The probate illusion of Queen of Egypt's daughter
Who proceeds through this escapade of...

Plum trees by the corner,
Sole bloom of winter;
With faint fragrance
Adorning the frost.

Creeping behind the shadows 
Awed by its extravagant architecture
Nighttime has arrived
I peered into the dark historical ages

Ornamental columns carved with exquisite designs
Soured into the sky
The scale of axial symmetry 
Has conquered my eyes

Entering a garden so stylish and pure
With plunge bath of the night
Of lake...

Despotic dynasty part two 
And when we entered the shiny city…it was on marshland
and there was smoke from chimneys of factories, but there
were streets of light and stores selling lingerie’s we could 
not resist, there were beggars in the street which disturbed 
us greatly, and...

Trump's dynasty is surely collapsing
His Atlanta hotel is almost vacant and crumbling
Pieces of concrete
Are falling to the street
Guess the date on his unpaid bills is elapsing...

Sunlight shared, but shadows fall,
New shoots struggle down.

Aurang Zaib Alamgeer
Have you forgot Queen Tarabai?
A woman who fought defensive battles against you
Do you remember her swinging sword?
How can you forget that violent clash
When you put her skills to the test
She failed you while you were the best.
Lesson. Never underestimate a woman of substance....

Syria, unshackled by the three crimson stars, twinkling so free 
Yearning for so long, for the green field, the future to be
Ripping off the blood-stained past of every sin and atrocity 
In his strength, he made the lions and they dynasty flee 
And they, the...
