Best Ethiopia Poems


Boyhood Nostalgia

Waterfalls here and there sprout (A)
From the bottom of the mountain (B)
Monkeys and apes are gamboling (C)
Comfortably, somewhere on the leafy soil (D)
On trees top, snacking from the wild fruit (A)
Gathered, seemed as they had a summit (A)

Somewhere wavering on the tree (E)
I were alone blatantly beside the pond (F)
On the body of the botched trunk (G)
Which were beside the spring water (H)
That flew rhythmically in the middle of the forestry (E)
Wending, looking good bye me and the place peacefully ( E)

The nugget, pebble, and the sand was seen ( I)
In the pure water lazed beneath the bottom ( J)
Little fishes were swimming dreading nothing a hook (K)
And I were not a cruel boy to show them a slash of bread (L)
To trick and eat them for my hunger and fun ( I)
Nature was delicious by itself why i did them stun (I)

I had no girlfriend but I were loved a blossomed lass (M)
She was my high school grade mate, so beautiful (N)
A shy, not seen when she talk and play (O)
With boys like me and teenagers (P)
A virgin of the south Ethiopian of that epoch’s class (M)
I were dreaming here beyond my memory mass  (M)
Alemseged’s Alphabetical Rhyming Scheme style

Oh, my boyhood love had an agony of sagacity (Q)
Wishing greedily day and night losing many sleeps (R)
Being frail to say I love you snatched the aplomb (S)
Observing in heart and mind surrendered without fighting (T)
A different perspective on a dimension of beauty (Q)
A yearning of having her, an itching of victory (Q)

My childhood village, the forest, the mount, the cliff (U)
The two lakes, Abaya and Chammo, God’s bridge ( V)
They couldn’t told me how to get the bloomed aroma (W)
They couldn’t helped me how to say I love you (X)
But they whispered the song through wind that riff (U)
By Knowing my secrets, searched from my heart’s shelf (U)

Where are you now the un kissed flower of the ere (Y)
The bud and bold, the desired scent as the Mexican dahlia (Z)
I think now, the time is go on you were my potent age flare (Y)
You are  my boyhood nostalgia, as of a shadow of acacia (Z)

Beauty

Beauty
 Beauty is not about being beautiful 
 It is about being respectful 
 Beauty is not about your skin colour
 It is about your heart
 It is about your faith 
                                                       It is not about your face 
                                                       or about your money
                                                       Beauty is about your kindness
                                                       It is about your loyalty  
                                                       
 It is about your inside
 It is about your true self 
 It is NOT about how you dress 
 It is about how you look inside not outside 
                                                       Being beautiful doesn't have 
                                                       a meaning if your beauty is 
                                                       only in your face 
                                                       if you have no beauty in your heart'
 It is hard to define beauty for you
 If you as why?
 It is because
 Beauty is you in you!!!

The Semien Kingdom

the Semienite kings erected stelae
to the kingdom of the wrestling with God;
Ethiopian hinterlands ruled with the iron fist of Judea, 
the flag of Magen David swaying in Abyssinian winds.

Judit?battle-hungry commander of war,
panzer-woman of Scriptural Armageddon!

the queen casts her leather noose
and steers the forces of Beta Israel
into a battle of redemption and of honor
conducted in a strong and Hebraic iron tradition
not even a Holocaust could ever quell!


Premium Member Greece and Ethiopia

 Greece and Ethiopia have had  unwavering and unbroken
        bonds of friendship since ancient times.
Greece is the land of freedom and democracy, also  one of the pillars
of worldwide civilization in all sectors
{philosophy, poetry , art etc.}
The great ancient Greek poet HOMER is frequently refereed to Ethiopia
in his masterpiece ILIAD. 
Even the name  Ethiopia comes from an ancient Greek word
{Aithiops} which means  a sun-burnt face.
The source of the blue NILE is in Ethiopia, the only country
in Africa which was never colonized by western powers, with 
its own ancient  language:{Amharic} and history.
The predominant religion of Ethiopia is Christianity which was propagated
by Apostol Mathias.        God Bless Greece and Ethiopia!!

CULTURAL RICHES

From the ancient kingdom of Aksum
To the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela
Ethiopia's cultural wealth shines bright—  
A droplet of wonder on history's umbrella.

The harmony between graves and crosses  
Speaks of a rich and diverse heritage
Iconic biblical scenes, the Waaqeffanna of Oromo 
Elevate Ethiopia's cultural legacy.

Ethiopia is indeed rich in culture
From the intricate rhythms of Eskista
To the cultural mosaics of the Tigray—  
Every artifact, is gold in itself.
