Must dress for success to the T.
The hair 'neath his chin
Must wrap round his shin:
It cannot be just to the knee!...

Pharaoh 
Proud of heart 
Exalted himself to the heavens 
Defied the living God 
And drowned in the red sea.

Upon my fence alit a pretty sparrow
Her stay was brief, and yet I felt more noble
Than if the visit were of king or pharaoh

Turned down by a Spanish caballero
Rejected by an Egyptian Pharaoh --
   Rosie had real good looks
   But the girl couldn't cook --
Hitched an old bird who ate like a sparrow...

from my garden
the Indian Myna birds
Walk Like An Egyptian
as they
bob and strut
like a Pharaoh
have the look
down pat
even to the Cleopatra eyes....

Pharaoh said, in so many words, "Hell, No!"

Adventuring in a long trek
Egyptian sarcophagus 
Where rests a pharaoh and 
Dearly beloved 
Holding the hands
As promise
Of true

    Egypt’s Pharoah claimed ‘The Nile is mine’ 
       With a wave of his hand - its waters, wine

    Scores of leaders today in outright denial
       Back then only Pharaoh, King of ‘Da Nile’

Not common knowledge but I was reincarnated
From an Egyptian Pharaoh with lots of gold but underrated
Named Tutankhanatrump
Eaten by lions, this lump
Bad decision, my whole kingdom was annihilated...

Long forgotten deities,
strewn across these lands,
broken by endless wars,
waged against darkness,
Last of them, a Pharaoh sits
upon a broken throne,
grey eyes widened in surprise,
even as his ill-gotten power,
grows....

lovely woman- -
follow tracks of the sheep;
by shepherd tents graze

a favorite mare
harnessed by Pharaoh- -
beside you it pales

your beautiful eyes
sparkle the dark of midnight- -
I feel your breath...

Cleopatra, the last Pharaoh of Egypt,
could have had Caesar or Anthony as a co-regent,
but rather than putting such power in either man's grasp,
she put leadership decisions in the path of an asp.

Young king Tut, time honoured pharaoh
In rage, deaf like the sea, with fires impatience

Boy king worshipped as a God
The daintiest last, to make the end most sweet.

Buried with skill not food for worms
But time for him grants a heavier doom...

Egypt

Used pyramids

As burial tomb sites

For their famous kings called Pharaoh  

Narrow at the top, with very wide base

Similar form rictameter

First five lines, or last four

Laughter!! Ha!! Ha!!

Pharaoh's life teaching a lesson for the waring world,

Pharaoh feared children and killed them all,

But in Pharaoh's courts rolled Moses ball,

Pharaoh feared seeing Children's face,

The Children feared now seeing Pharaoh's rotten face,

In Cairo's museum!...

     Moses did not want to address Pharaoh
        He stuttered when he spoke
     He asked God, ‘Who am I that I should go’

     God said, your question shows your humility
        That's why you can speak for Me
           ~ Your words will have credibility

Sphinx
           inscrutable, mysterious
  perplexing, mystifying, awe-inspiring
   statue, ancient, pharaoh, limestone
       striking, stunning, bewildering
               mythical, enigmatic
                          egypt

Moses saw light on a tree
Pharaoh was on a killing spree
Moses had to stand against all odds
Pharaoh claimed to be the best of gods
Moses did it all for the faith 
Pharaoh did it all for arrogance
Moses fought and went walking through the Nile 
Pharaoh followed and drowned in a mile....
