Best Greek Poems

Let’s begin with
A strong fresh
Brewed Greek coffee
The aroma alone,
Will wake up 
Your senses, 
Allow you to
Let go, to keep 
An open mind to delight
And excite 
You, relax your taste buds.
About to travel,
Don’t put up fences,
Today is the morning
After the night before,
No doubt you feel groggy
You...

I AM A PROUD GREEK SUNDIAL

I only tell of sunny hours historically,
And go back to when I was built, 
Fifty years before Christ was born,
Have been renovated and rebuilt!

My name is Tower of the Winds,
I live in Agora, Athens Greece,
I live at the summit, on...

I knew an old woman from Greece
Whose whinging words would seldom cease
She’d constantly whine
When drunk on red wine
Her husband’s in dire need of peace!


How much cash does a Grecian earn -
such questions I tried hard to spurn
Her husband went mad
and did something bad -
she’s interred in...

As I lingering in the doorway 
 Looking upon everything that was destroyed 
 By the fire of circumstance
 I think to myself 
“My god how does one soul
  survive so much for so long?
 How does one find themselves in the midst 
Of...

Sometimes words make me melt!
Like that anise-flavored, OUZO, the
Greek aperitif.
On hot cheese the waiter pours it.
A match is lit and the dish, of course, 
lights up.
Don’t ask why, but wow, it makes my
heart melt!

Poets words can be that intoxicating.
A special few set my heart to...

Ashes Now Cover, Pantheon Of Ancient Greek Gods

Deep within halls of ancient, and dead Greek gods
resides heroes forgotten, waiting their just dues
As poets of old, in golden verse gave their nods

GREEK GREAT GRANDMA

My great grandma was Greek,
And married an alien freak,
She was renowned for her cooking,
And enjoyed people looking,
But she was the first one to peek!

Great grandma divorced the alien freak,
And married a local Greek,
They had two pairs of twins,
As their story begins,
And were caught...

This is the happiest day of my year!
At Saint Basil's Festival, in my heart.
You would see fireworks and hear the cheers.
Nothing can keep me from this Festival apart.


It's the kindness of Greeks, so sparkly of heart. 
It's my home on this earth.
So though I will...

clew
a thread
unraveled
it pulls me back
away from the scene
where I had done battle
other heroes are god-touched
their fathers' powers aiding them
sore and wounded ... I retrace my steps
the heartstring of my love will pull me through...

The song they sing 
Will bewitch you
Promising you everything
Warming your bed to loving you

Heartbreakers for sure
Full of wickedness and sin
They are so evil
Promising love but taking a life

They were handmaidens to the
Goddess Persephone 
When Haides abducted her

Given bodies of birds
Sent to search for her 
got...

Waiting in line, 
Before the ATM of closed banks for 60 Euros to withdraw under the scourging sun  
Old and invalid people are submitted to this daily torture, constantly moaning, for Our country’s suffering and for our own devastation, 
While twenty-seven percent the unemployment...

The Greek gods were egotistic, arrogant, jealous,
Said to be excellent lovers, fanatics, and zealous
About everything and anything, lounged around
Adorning places like Marathona, the Acropolis
The Parthenon.  Archaeology
Maintains that Greek Mythology 
Goes back to the Bronze age,
A long ago historical stage.
Statues have been discovered, displayed 
Or...

Agape, love, what a beautiful word, its origin Greek,
To me using this word is such a passionate feeling,
People too gilb with I love you, must come from the heart,
Must be a saying reflecting true courage,
Like being in church and saying your prayers,
A true inspiration to...

Oh! those gods of ancient times who looked kindly upon this land-
and its people- it was from their hearts we toiled while they dwelt silently among us- they who witnessed the blood we shed.

Oh! how we cried out their names for liberation as they guided...
