Fars Land (Triolet)

The sands of time whisper bygones
Shells strewn, in opal color glaze
River of life, blue and saffrons
The sands of time whisper bygones
And I wonder of all solons
Jaded Fars land that held their gaze
The sands of time whisper bygones
Shells strewn, in opal color glaze


Author notes

Meso Mesopotamia.3500BC.where Susa arose as a great city of the Elamites and Ashan ..thus biblical tales of Canaanites , Solomon, Babylonians and defeated the Elamites,,crushing Susa ..in thick layer of ashes,then was reborn till Assurbanipal ruler of Assyria,
tombs were desecrated ending the Elamite kingdom
in 627BC.Later in 331 BC under Alexander the great, it became a trade center..today are intriguing clusters of hillocks...

    Great metaphoric pennings on a rise and fall resulting in residuals of history. Thanks for sharing. I benefitted in lessons on historic events in reading this fine piece.
