For people dying from cancer
Doctors do not have an answer
But Hippocrates said,
"If you'd rather be dead,
Become a table-top dancer!"
Fire is hot.
Is it not?
Earth is too dirty
for one so purty.
In water, I'd sink,
I think...
and what about the air?
Is it really there?
A serpent saved Eve from a drouth
Medusa just opened her mouth
But snakes in her hair
How did they get their?
The Devil don't know North from South?
Immigrantis will poison our blood
Flotillis nonabzorba—a flood
Trumpcissus doth speak
And shall bear this critique
“Thou orate constantinely such crud!”
An earnest young student of Greek
Raised his hand in class so to speak.
The professor replied
“I wouldn’t advise.
After all, you’ve been dead for a week!”
A Greek 'god' of wisdom
Athens' patron goddess.
Acts chapter seventeen
Apostle Paul teaches
All should repent to God
And to stop worshiping
Any man-made idols
Blame not the gale, or the inhospitable sea-gulf, or friends’ tardiness,
mariner! Just man’s foolhardiness.
—Leonidas of Tarentum, translation by Michael R. Burch
A life cut after time
alive and errors made
and lessons from sisters:
acceptance from Clotho -
a hand in weaving birth;
aware from Lachesis
that life is a wonder.

Dawn is upraised
Fierce in disguise--
Then you are dazed
By her rising at length—
Once you have gazed
Straight in her eyes,
Never be fazed
By her beauty and strength.
Be ashamed, O mountains and seas: these were men who drew valorous breath.
Assume, like pale chattels, an ashen silence at death.
—Parmenio, translation by Michael R. Burch
Passerby,
tell the Spartans we lie
here, dead at their word,
obedient to their command.
Have they heard?
Do they understand?
—Simonides, translation by Michael R. Burch
Penelope’s hands are tired
from weaving cunning webs.
Telemachus needs a father.
Faster, faster! Please Athena!
Talk to Poseidon and calm the sea.
Bring Odysseus home, to me.
Dread dog
Shadowy flame of death
Guardian,protector of the ancient doors
Where in lies the underworlds breath
So beware the craggy shores of hell
Where sleeps the hound of Hades
The Real Pheidippides
Athenian messenger Pheidippides
Died 30 years before the birth of Thucydides
Most famous hemerodrome day-runner
Ran a 300-mile ultramarathon stunner
Happy birthday, Sister Sarah,
Enjoy the verse that portrays life;
Reading the ancient Greek drama
Lets you forget the global strife.
Topic: Birthday of Sarah O. Marquez (March 11)
you grace me with your greek god appearance
and i feel lucky
your blue eyes dance romantically
your lips sing sweet melodies
your heart beats passion
and i have fallen deep under your spell
The Old Greek
love flowers
life
anger flares
grease fire
sunsets
flowers wilt
love love
hate hate
hypocrites
I am king
Perle Fine
my Queen
hells fire
summers here
The rose blooms only briefly when it’s born,
but when it’s died, you’ll always find the thorn.
— translated from the Greek
---------------------------------------------------------
you are calling for me
with sweet melodies
from the underworld,
"Oh Persephone come back to me"
imbued with sobs,
negligently i slip into your arms -
how dantesque of me to
conjure an inferno upon me.
Just because every woman that looks at me
Wants me to ravish her, till she can no longer see
Well let me rephrase that
Ninety percent is more accurate
It sure can be challenging for an Adonis like me
Gray,
Dismal
Rainy days.
Then leafless trees,
As it gets warmer,
All start to sprout new buds.
Migratory birds appear.
Abandoning the underworld,
And the ruler of the dead, Hades,
Persephone returns to Demeter.
