#WritcoPoemPrompt35
By the flickering light of an ancient lamp,
By the twinkling waters of an ancient river,
The dancer entertains the heathen enemies.
This fascinating history forever etched in stone,
Is a monumental discovery...

When the ancient lamp flickered light,
And in the old river water twinkled too,
The heathen enemies were entertained by dancer,
Who moved fluidly like a quivering snake.

A long-forgotten tale she steps out,
Reverberations from a civilization that remains,
The hints of a culture both enigmatic and great,
Carved forever into stone in this land so old.

Such fascinating history is definitely worth telling,
It is bigger than gold as if it were true’s monument,
Revealing secrets anonymous for so many ages,
They sleep eternally – they are past.
