Throne

Nicholas Browning

At first there were many, now, less than few:

So I dress myself in August -

On a broken throne, cut from stone,

Waiting for something new.

    Couldn't read the script so put it into translate :


    At first there were many, now, less than few:

    On a broken throne, cut from stone,
    Waiting for something new.

    Something of an enigmatic write which I love simply for the use of the language and the way the words are woven - no don't do anything to it.

      I think I figured out why the letters change after I post, though we shall see. Thank you for going through the trouble sir. I appreciate it greatly. Hopefully it is fixed now though.
      Also, I will take your advice: The poem shall stay the way it is! Save for the hieroglyphics, haha.

        Oohh thanks M - saved me the time. I have a Greek to English alphabet list. The New Testament was written in Greek. I'm not a scholar of it, but know a smidgeon of it - no relation to pigeon. I'm waffling now!

        Nice words, well written but I can't find the meaning and I would like to understand what is referred to.

        • Nicholas Browning

          Thank you very much sir for the kind words. If you don't mind my asking, what comes to mind when you read it?

            At first there were many, now, less than few: I ask myself if you are talking about a species which is dying out.
            So I dress myself in August - Winter is setting in?
            On a broken throne, cut from stone, - Wondering if its a metaphorical throne (king of the jungle?) then its cut from stone, so I wonder what kind of throne that is...
            Waiting for something new. - nothing is new really, and better to go and find than wait for things to come to you.

            I found the whole thing mysterious, each line seems to indicate my interpretation of the line previous was missing the point.

            Yes, it's all Greek to some of us. lol. Something to do with the script I think - not sure. Ahh, translation by M.
            Ya could write about what ya is doing for the other 11 months of the year too! lol.
            If I get too complex, I over-rate myself, then run out of material! I should stay simple - ish!

            • Nicholas Browning

              Lol. I suppose I could, haha. Being complex is that double edged sword you know. Being simple is nice sometimes though lol. Thanks for stopping by Orch.

              Nicholas,
              Very mysterious and intriguing! I like this fine write very much because it’s so open to interpretation by the readers of which I am one!
              Super!
