Fall of Troy
Learnt from Chapman's Homer*
A story full of grace and glamour
Killings of Royals, warriors and multitude
Fall of Troy is
A melodrama of ancient attitude
Sans Merci, sans certitude
War that was waged in heaven
Amongst deities of love wedding and wisdom**
To be crowned as fairest of heavenly kingdom,
Poor Prince from Trojan race
Chose to settle that celestial FACE
Ah! This sin of Paris was un-forgiven
***Brought thousands ships towards Trojan haven.
The wall of Troy
Besieged by savage and sages
For term of ten years ages
Prince Hector the decent, daredevil
Embraced Achilles` wrath and kissed the peril.
Days and nights, round the clock
Trojans, Achaeans clashed like a giant rocks
Hector, Aeneas, Paris, Agenor and Sarpedon****
Achilles, Odysseus, Ajax, Patroclus and Agamemnon*****
For worthless love and fairy******
Troy lost her grace and glory
Poet's Notes about The Poem
** Goddess Aphrodite, Hera and Athena
*** From Marlow's Dr Faustus
**** Trojan warrior
***** Achaeans Heroes
****** Helen

Ah, dear Gulsher,
Authentic expressions with the solid support of the marvelous epic frames and characters. Beyond poetic science, your intervention skills stand pronouncing louder the profoundness your blessed mind has been with them. Your verses in quick succession guided me right to my mentors, professors, old classes, gatherings, debates, discussions, recitations and most important of all, such a nostalgic bubbles, a kind of craving sprouted all over the turf of my mind. I see Alfred Lord Tennyson's Ulysses, the Kingdom of Ithaca, his son Telemachus, the suffering Penelope, courtiers, seas, islands, yellow fruits, golden rays all that added the legendary lethargy to his men... what not! you really have served this humble me a feast, Honorable Bard. God bless. Keep penning. Look at the spell, Your verses in fact resounds some literary criticism too. Be proud of beign GulJohn, and praise The Lord for that.
Regards and Love. Tajudeen shah

A good write with good rhyme.
Legends and epics make a deep impression on our minds and we begin to ponder over them.....
For a while we read and they we begin to learn about life in all its forms from times immemorial. It is a poem that can boast of quality diction, well blended smilies and a poetic nostalgia.
