9. Taj Mahal
W is for Wonder
From the far end of the reflecting pool
the Taj Mahal is a W.
Unanswered questions carved in white marble:
What? Where? When? Why? and are you able
to fathom the love the emperor felt
when he had this tribute built?

Amazing story that's been passed down through the years about this. Questioning the wonder of it is good. Hard to imagine both that kind of love or wealth!
ReplyDeleteI love your off rhymes. Pool and W! Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. One day I would love to see this.
ReplyDeleteA couple of found poems is the best I can do tonight.

The calligraphy
on the Great Gate reads,
"O Soul,
thou art at rest.
Return
to the Lord
at peace
with Him,
and He
at peace
with you.
"To Display the Creator's Glory"
Should guilty
seek asylum here,
Like one pardoned,
he becomes free from sin.
Should a sinner
make his way to this mansion,
All his past sins
are to be washed away.
The sight of this mansion
creates sorrowing sighs;
And the sun and the moon
shed tears
from their eyes.
In this world
this edifice
has been made;
To display thereby
the creator's glory.
