Temple Of Broken Rock Poem by soren Barrett

Temple Of Broken Rock

Temple of broken rock

Poems a bricolage, mythologies' seeds
patchwork of past sewn into flowering understanding
Stones of belief, covered with emotion's weeds
roof of language above a distant landing

Foundation of eons, corner posts of past
wisdom's light through windows
Memories nails, iron cast
dug from the rocks of Lindos

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
In the arts, bricolage (French for 'DIY' or 'do-it-yourself projects'; French pronunciation: [bʁikɔlaʒ]) is the construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available, or a work constructed using mixed media. Lindos a Greek archaeological site close to Rhodes According to myth, Lindos was founded by the Dorians by the king Tlepolmus of Rhodes, who arrived in about the 10th century BC. It was one of six Dorian cities in the area known as the Dorian Hexapolis. The eastern location of Rhodes made it a natural meeting place between the Greeks and the Phoenicians, and by the 8th century Lindos was a major trading center. In the 6th century it was ruled by Cleobulus, one of the Seven Sages of Greece. The importance of Lindos declined after the foundation of the city of Rhodes in the late 5th century BC.
