Best Ottoman Empire Poems

PRELUDE
There has always been animosity between Greece and Turkey as far back in history as we wish to go.  Greece was occupied by the Turks during the Middle-Ages for almost 500 years.  My ancestors from my Mother’s side were Greek.
They lived in Smyrna...

Arni Kleftiko Stolen Lamb


The Cypriots and Greeks have a few differences,
And can argue a great deal,
But both agree when it comes to ‘Kleftiko”
It has forever been, the most delectable 
Traditional Greek meal,
That ever a bandit could steal!
It is absolutely scrumptious for those	
Who of it have...

The fault line streamed from the Nazi state,
The Jewish Shoah, Holocaustic fate.
Mongolia, Croatia, and Belarus,
Humanity had no excuse.

Rwanda, Burundi, and South Sudan, 
The full scope of terror's sad sway,
In Cambodia they pointed their fingers
To where the horrid 'Killing Fields' lay.

The dire purges in Mother Russia,...

The Australian Light Horse had rode all night
And the troopers were all spoiling for a fight
For they remembered mates lose on the fatal shore
When the Turks defeated the Gallipoli Invasion flaw

But Chauvel wanted to wait 'til the sun was down
And so they rested all day...

Lassie, pretty, invincible pleasure
The pride of a skilled crafter!
There lived on the landscapes a farrier,
By the ruins of Ottoman Empire.
His daughter, heaven's courtier!
A professional innkeeper;
Sometimes serving the Royal Jester;
Sometimes guardian of her.
That pleasant horizon for a dreamer,
That they sacrifice in the frontier
Of love, appeal and...

The temple of Olympia gave birth to the games
Kingdoms of Greece did battle before the flames
Coroebus of Elis first champion and winner
Blood sweat and tears before the king of Olympia.
Hercules and Zeus were the main driving force
Great leader and a son filled with bitter remorse
Twelve...

Romanus country
Romania to us
Iron curtain frontier
Dismantled by fuss
 
Like us all invaded
But by Goths and the Huns
Typical past history
Populations on the run
The Ottoman Empire, absorbed their souls
A free Romania the ultimate goal
 
Modern Romania has had its fears
The first world war
In neutrality gear
But by 1916,...

I went to buy an R.V.
They said all I could afford was a Lose-a Beggo.

I bought a pair of alligator shoes.
But then I started wandering off into swamps.
Finally, I had to toss them, they were
really biting my feet.
I got arrested for tossing
an endangered species.

I got...

And he will curse those who curse Israel."***

The United States of America has been blessed
For two primary reasons.  Our founding fathers
And our founding mothers. Established the newly
Formed thirteen colonies into a newly formed
Nation.  Based upon God's...

A Poem Of WW1 
ANZAC Day 
25th April 2018

Let’s have at Johnny Turk
Winston Churchill said, 
We’ll secure the Dardanelles,
Keep our Russian trade fed.
His words so casually uttered 
May have had to be eaten
Johnny Turk was well Generalled
And not so easily beaten.

The naval campaign to start
Was,...

I like Germany
I like the Germans
I have friends there
I worked for a time near Frankfurt 
And I visit Berlin often
It’s my favourite city
They are nice people
Friendly and welcoming
They share our hopes
And our aspirations
We are so alike
We have always been alike
Well almost always
There were dark days
When...

Did you hear about the charge
On that faithful day

At 4 o’clock in the afternoon
It was the desert you see

And water was like gold
When the Australian Light Horse

Charged Beersheba that day
Chauvel lined them up 

And with bayonets in hand
They charged the Turk trenches down

They won the...
