Sphinx
Sits on
Burning sands
Sunning herself
In the noonday sun
She needs no chaise
She is a
Bedrock
Sphinx.
Was that Sphinx head on Mars
Or some prisoner behind bars
Seems like a mutated face
Of a different race
Like human parts in doctor’s jars
SPHINX
“What’s it all about? –
Existence variety
What’s the mystery
Humans eagles reptiles fish?”
“Easy It’s all about life”
Like the Sphinx
Igor lies regally
With eyes closed off
To the world.
He finds his zen
And feels the breeze
But knows not how much
He is revered.
a new riddle for the Sphinx
concerns terrorist high jinks
when our free-world countries blink
does bin Laden wink?
*For John Freeman’s Dodoitsu contest
In the hot sands do you stand
Crouched on all four
Waiting to devour the wanderer
In search of Truth
The babes of the Jews escaped your fists
So you stand there with your nose in bits
Mamma said the Sphinx head was made from barley
Which Papa stole from the Mars harvest with Charlie
And if you look real close
Especially at the nose
It resembles a picture of Bob Marley
Tuump's Mind and Missing Links
Trump's mind is part of missing links;
Should see his face found on a sphinx;
Hands so small,
That does appall;
Has kinks and must see some shrinks.

Monsters
Legendary Sphinx,
Monster in every marvel,
An incessant love,
Unsinkable Titanic,
The ceaseless thunder of surf !

Sphery moon o'er northern bog;
sphagnum working overtime.
Sphinx Moth moves within a grand
sphere of influence,
spherule eyes gazing. Keeps his
sphygmic pulse on time -- poised with
sphenic wings arched overhead.
Sounds of burning water lilies
Disorient the future contours,
A shivery breath fills
My cheery corner.
The blazing shadow of the sun crushes
The sphinx of my star,
And the promises dissolve
Before the strangled star.
There is something
Indecipherably spellbinding
Almost occult
About The Sphinx
As though conjured
Out of the blue
With a magic wand

Zooming all over the globe
Breakfast with the Sphinx at Giza
Lunch shaded by the Tower at Pisa
Dinner on the Champs-Élysées
Bedtime in Pompeii
Seeing the world from my sofa.
Bite Size Poem no.40 Poetry Contest
The cat is so Egyptian-Iike,
in her grand, artistic grandeur.
Her classic flurry splendor.
Utterly silent and regal.
Like her sister, the sphinx,
In the Nile.
With that eternal, feline smile.

The essence of marriage, “even when you're right, you're wrong!”
A well-known phenomenon that becomes even truer as we move on
It goes both ways methinks
Because I'm a male Sphinx
I've been more inclined to go with hubbies all along
lazy, long afternoon
preening sphinx-like
catches a stray scent
aha! dinner!...
stealth-creep
agonizingly slow,
'til, target in sight
she springs...
afterward, sated
lightly licks
the corners
of her whiskers
curls back into
her no-hammock
Sphinx
inscrutable, mysterious
perplexing, mystifying, awe-inspiring
statue, ancient, pharaoh, limestone
striking, stunning, bewildering
mythical, enigmatic

She squats, a noiseless brilliant sphinx
And thinks with drowses, yawns and purr
She turns upward, gives her full think
I put down my book and see her
Grinning into her soft furry
O' as she brushes it pretty
With her delicate tongue firstly
Tail held high -it's Serenity
Is their life on Mars
Carlotto's image, the Sphinx
Was their life on Mars
Creativity
Our intentions bring again
To Mars, loss or gain
But then we must ask
Simply, what can mankind bring
Mars no longer sings

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
(She with face inscrutable as the Sphinx.)
Although she was nay forthright,
Shakespeare wast somewhat polite,
But saw through her nefarious high jinks!

the tree ensconce in ice will fare bravely today as always nature takes over for centuries
and the mere imagination of men nothing to compare to the force of the unknown
a sphinx guarding the pyramids just a mirage of the past
as a kite flying the sky for a minute is only a plastic bag encroaching its branches
I’ve seen the sphinx and pyramids
Climbed Kilimanjaro and Everest
Crossed the ocean in a raft, I did
So, which thrill was the best…
Lest you think I notch my belt
with each of these conquests
Sabbath meals with my family
are where I’m truly blessed
The glory that was Greece; the grandeur that
was Rome. The mystery of Egypt and
the Pharaohs' giant tombs. A Sphinx-cat
guards all treasures past in Ancient Egypt's land
Today the Sphinx bears witness to miles and
miles of sand. Glory faded, dessication
