PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT
They rise like ancient dreams From the sands of Egypt Gently kissing the sky Whispering to the heavens. How grand they are The pyramids of Giza With pride so high They paint the sky. What you see are stones stiched With hands together so neat Each edge lay in total agreement To a will of a heart with ailment. But Pharoah saw a dream One the captures the...

Premium Member Two Puppies At Great Spinx of Giza
We are not going far, Mama they lied to me. Only to Egypt, way across the sea. I figured maybe Des Moines, certainly not Chicago. Which was hundreds of miles, much too far for two puppies to go. Will you be home for lunch? I asked them, thawing out some chow. They professed to not know. Said good-bye in...

Musings At Giza, Egypt
Musings at Giza, Egypt by Michael R. Burch In deepening pools of shadows lies the Sphinx, and men still fear his eyes. Though centuries have passed, he waits. Egyptians gather at the gates. Great pyramids, the looted tombs —how still and desolate their wombs!— await sarcophagi of kings. From eons past, a hammer rings. Was Cleopatra's litter borne along these streets now bleak, forlorn? Did Pharaohs clad...

Oracle of Giza
A new day perhaps, of immeasurable tin, sound of din A hurricane noise, a thrall of riotous cuts, although thin The blood-curdle choke of rage from before Now purchased like plasma from the needle store Go hump yourself, If you want my schtick, you vampire whore You’ve had enough since the Garden, Lillith, you’ll not get more Now the ratio between...

The Great Pyramid of Giza
In the land titled the Gift of the Nile, where pharaohs rode in gilded chariots, 149 feet she elegantly stands, in the sandy plains of Giza For decades long gone, shes taken the crown; "the tallest master piece of man's hand" a Triton amongst Minnows yes indeed, if thou not believe,the Falcons do for centuries gone they scaled her sculpture high enough to see the...

Premium Member Great Pyramids of Giza
The pyramids have made me ponder Sprouting tall in sands of timeless plunder They raise the palms, of either hand Among the eighth, of wonderlands I'll hold a constellation of small conclusions While coming forth with wise solutions The Sphinx, she taunts me, with ancient riddles Of mere coincidence, or majestic plan The likeness climbs the vulnerable mind Comparisons of any kind Rival all...
