His pedigree
was his degree

Yet once in the fray
he was easy prey ~

Colossus - Or Not

The Colossus of Rhodes stood erect, commanding much awe and respect. But his rather small shorts held his assets - of sorts. Perhaps, not a lot - I suspect! ~

A sign read in a tailor shop in a Rhodes location ”In a big rush, we execute customers in strict rotation” Best to wait for a less busy day How about you, that's what I'd say Strange behavior by people in some of these nations

Lets Go Fishing

Grab your rhodes, your lines, your reels.
Grab your hooks, your swivels, your sinkers.
Grab your power bait, your worms, your stinkers.
Grab your tackle box, your cooler, your beer.
Pick a spot, cast your line, enjoy your friends, and have a good time.

Last Riff

Pounding each key
like a Fender Rhodes
the computer bent and wailed
Bits and bytes
of encrypted language
messages derailed

Memory freezes
last chance rebooted
restart zero-sum
The riff uncapped
its printout fading
—typeface on the run

Inside Out In the Blue Waters

Take me to Crete,
or take me to Rhodes
Please Mediterranean 
me in my soul
Salt me in waters
which lapped at the feet
of every sentinel
army's defeat
Blue me in atmospheres
sun up my core
Forgetting me there
makes me just want it more
Take me to Rhodes,
or take me to Crete
Please Mediterranean
me to complete...

Organist

That Hammond B3 can spit and growl,
Any other organ will throw in the towel...
Add a nice Rhodes piano  to the mix,
And you have a sound that you'll never need to fix

Ah, a chance at a pipe organ would be ecstasy,
And likely the highlight of my life,
But a hot jam with good musicians,
Is more orgasmic than the most beautiful a wife.

Thy Dreams and Thy Passions

as he reads the
morning journals
tasting fresh coffee
while, listening
to Pavane
there i stood
this i
truly know,
that my
daddy loves
me so,
because he
sent me
all the way
to the
university
where i earned
all of my degrees
thus, a Rhodes Scholar
in academia
in following
all of thy dreams
all of thy passions
and i
love you
more, daddy

Irregardless

Like a size-too-large shoe; it does not fit true
IRREGARDLESS of who? Good lord, that won't do!

Preachers will preach it and good teachers teach it
Politicians used it; lawyers abused it

Rhodes Scholars quoted it; speechwriters wrote it
Musicians note it and gossipers float it

It's rather absurd how our English is slurred
In case you haven't heard: There AIN'T NO SUCH WORD!!

     grape vine

Statue of Zeus at Olympia
     god king
     stirring

Temple of Artemis at Ephesus

     the bomb

Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
     big tomb
     much room 

Colossus of Rhodes
     big man
     bronze tan

Lighthouse of Alexandria 
     took dunk
     went plunk

This is:

                      "An ominous notice to all oppressors of worlds"
              





                                            Limitations Of Power


                         Even the mightiest and most impregnable wall

                         Looming over the weakest amidst endlessness

                         In hidden silence crumbles then eventually fall

Premium Member The Valley of Butterflies

At the valley
Of butterflies
In Rhodes, Greece
I encountered
Nature's love affair
Feisty flowers
Rainbow colors
Flying gorgeously everywhere
Beyond anybody's reach
Fluttering here and there
Once the caterpillars
Magically turned into animated fairies
Gently hugging the trees
With their soft and fragile wings
Their inexplicable performance
Has fully mesmerized
Thousands of travelers
Enjoying the splendors
Of this world
And to be one of them
I am so gratified

The biblical 'MAMMON' RULES America and Trump is his King


666 is the Old testament reference to the measurements of the statue called: "the Colossus at Rhodes", a simple reference to the Greco-Roman Empire. America, in political form and adoption of its "Mythos" (cause and effect subject object scientific TRUTH metaphysics) is its modern incarnation.
