Best Mongols Poems

Once upon a time Great Wall of China was created
But there are conflicting stories about how it was generated
It is known it was to be defense against Mongols Chinese dreaded 
Created by stones that unto barrows were loaded

But the myth different story telling us is...

“Well I am indeed honoured dear Owl” replied Dumpty, thoughtfully he perceived this might be a good time to enquire about what he had witnessed by the river, so without preamble he asked the learn'ed creature, “Oh” said the Owl “you wish to know about...

Stone elongated nearly 4 thousand miles,
across the country of china, smiles.
The 16th century would see many small,
fortifications become a great wall.
The long wall's surface area is massive,
thus far, nothing man made has surpassed it.
Born of earth, gravel and stone,
passed down and extended to protect many...

Sometimes faith lives on the edge of a knife
as Sviastoslav the Rus sacker came to know 
the Khazar Khanate knew how to cut a slight
his gilded skull stole the show,
the Vatican went from a marsh to a monopoly
and the Cathay Tang kept up migration flow,
the...

Historical Reflections
The Emperor has four hundred wives
with flower faces framed by jet.
Mai Lin can pluck a thousand tunes,
Yin Feng knows all erotic arts.
They drink spiced wine in jasper cups
as the snow beats against the windows;
the mob outside is howling for grain.
The Son of Heaven orders...

We multiply by a bomb
Then we bear another.

We drag our children into passport documents.

We multiply far from the bedroom
And spit on our wedding day -
never paying attention to the tears.

On the TV screen
Baghdad storms us with bridges
Carnage of the Al Hadidi* fell in the Tigris...

Earth, water, metal, sky...
pummeled into submission.
Decay, refuse, side by side,
ground into submission.

Once pristine mountains ranged high;
while wild horses went flying by
ridden by Mongols 'neath starry skies
now, whipped into submission.

Rivers hemmed, tortured, bound;
green trees, now sickened, brown;
bare, skeletal, barren dry;
cringing 'neath soot filled skies....

All the grandeur...

...And what of my English background,
when those damn Normans came to town,
they slaughtered us, and left us ruled,
by Frenchman with ambitions cruel!
So Paris owes me lots of cash,
and London owes me too, at that!
And that’s not to mention the Welsh,
they made me too, and suffered...

A Memory
By Sy Roth


It didn’t come in like an invading horde of Mongols astride their horses.
It came like a Siren whispering a sweet song, blowing soft winds in my ear.

The old woman sat on her frayed settee, her head resting on her Macassar
Grey hair splayed...

Sonnet: The Ruins of Balaclava
by Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855)
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Oh, barren Crimean land, these dreary shades
of castles?once your indisputable pride?
are now where ghostly owls and lizards hide
as blackguards arm themselves for nightly raids.
Carved into marble, regal boasts were made!
Brave words on burnished...

A little sparrow flew down to a bush and said, "Please, can you give me a little swing on thee, and the bush angrily said no!
So the sparrow went to a goat, to nibble the bush, but the goat said no!
So the sparrow went to...
