Fascinating Research Into Aztec Writing Poem by Terence George Craddock

Cortes had no time for Aztec writing
on trail of glittering Aztec gold hunt exciting
reaping rewards of conquest exploiting

centuries later academic researchers following
focus on scholar plundered Aztec pictographs
study phonetic value pictorial logograms

an old unique art an Aztec writing system
pictographic represents various vowel sounds
paint a multidimensional phonetic space
