POETRY IS WHAT THE SOULS OF THE ANCIENTS SPEAK TO THOSE STILL SEEKING WHAT IS MOST BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD. FROM: LINDA

Thank you very much to Editor Lanning Russell of Event Horizon for publishing 5 of my poems in Issue 9.  I have included one of them here.

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL POEM


Jericho

They lined up making promises
to build the walls to protect Jericho,
And the ruler will sit in the secluded tower
and throw down edicts upon the people,
And amber waves of grain-
once safely cultivated-
will burn across the land.

And the one who occupies the tower
from above
will rumble, then stumble
and fall,
the echo sounding along 
the walls that will crumble and tumble

and fall to match the plummet.
