I seldom write poetry myself. It has to come to me, sometimes from a word, sometimes from an image. This is inspired by this image and by the lion on the side, and also by history. I've always been fascinated by the antiquity.<BR/><BR/>Mr. GoodThomas, thank you!<BR/>The same goes for 'An evening in' - as usual!Vesperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12417602625059442986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-35695479035399599632007-06-21T12:57:00.000-03:002007-06-21T12:57:00.000-03:00"He was once a god." Oh man, that is good. Very nice, Ms. Vesper.<BR/><BR/>And I loved your work on Inner Minx.

Did the poem inspire the image, or the image inspire the poem?<BR/>Amy from Med ViewsAmyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18178043133642383134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-88513220319451462432007-06-18T00:33:00.000-03:002007-06-18T00:33:00.000-03:00Bonnie, thank you! You are right, I am thinking of both the lion and Alexander the Great. The portion of the wall must have been restored. I can't imagine it to be in such a perfect shape after so many years...<BR/><BR/>CS, thank you so much!

Very strong poem, Vesper, and the picture is also powerful and surprisingly full of color. Do you think this one has been restored?<BR/><BR/>I see Roary has been here before me. He seems to have been making the rounds of his friends from the pride. Speaking of "pride" ... I guess you can tell he's very proud of himself for starting a blog.Bonnie Jacobshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07813549471704485150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-31195439817212428352007-06-16T14:40:00.000-03:002007-06-16T14:40:00.000-03:00Hi, would you please pass this note along to Alexander? I invite him to come visit me on my new blog, <A HREF="http://literarylionoflyon.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Literary Lion of Lyon</A>. He would probably recognize me from the blog’s title, but tell him Roary sent the invitation. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Roary <STRONG>^..^</STRONG>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
