Oh I look on towers strong
aloft the hills where Romans dwell

The ever quaint townships
the fortresses impenetrable

Memories of empire
forged of steel

Memories of Roma
borne on the seven hills

Oh for Rome I lament
fallen parapets lying on your ashes

Oh for the Empire I lament
A thing so beautiful lost to dark

So in my heart I keep a place
for Rome to dwell never lost

Greatest memories I have for you
and ever shall I remember,
the city on the seven hills


*Roma is latin spelling

Oh wow! Did you wrote this yourself? It's awesome!

yes, I wrote it

Can't say I have ever read a poem about Rome before. But it was a nice poem! Diversity in subjects to me is a good thing.

Yes, well I have a fetish for Roman history, so I found it natural to express my emotions about it's fall.

*laughs* "Fetish"? Now THAT'S a word I haven't heard on the forum yet...

lol Yeah. Well I always hear people say write about what you know.

I think it's nice to see people writing about subjects that normly stay on the sidelines.
