Remember Caesar, Crassus and Pompey
They ruled as three as Crassus went away
In civil war between the other two
Pompey was killed as Caesar’s power grew
– from three dictatorship of one remained

Trifextra this week is to write about a favourite trio… and why not a little history (of course in rhyme and pentameter)

I love the words and the LESSONS you give me. This is no exception.
Wishing you a great weekend. 🙂

I love you went with history…it is a great tale.
Also, the more you write the more I love your words and subject matter…our minds run in similar circles….lovely job dear.
Ha .. I have noticed that we come up with similar thoughts..
Distant twins: ) that’s completely possible:p
Mathematical poetic minds. ..what’s behind those glasses? My guess: the unified theory:)
Ahhh or a suite for strings
Indeed…one may never know…your glasses…it’s a mystery.
Great tale and a bit of education add too!
Thank you 🙂

Jed said Seize her, and Jethro said that all they did was hold hands.
That’s very likely
Great job, per usual, Bjorn! Thanks for linking up. Don’t forget to vote.
