Dear Tiglath..


Thankyou for your fine dissection and analysis of my poem.. I welcome constructive criticism and actually found you quite amusing.

If you had taken the time to read the title of the poem (MY DREAM).. you would have come to the understanding that it is based on a "dream".. and in "dreams"..anything goes.. dreams have no boundaries..

Meaning of Dream : - a succession of images.. thoughts.. or emotions passing through the mind during sleep.

Are all of YOUR dreams based on reality???.. I dont think so..

You would also realise that this is a "fictitious" poem.

Meaning of Fictitious: - something invented, or imagined..a made-up story.

Mesopotamia is the Greek word for Beth Nahrain..

We are universally known as " The People of Mesopotamia " - you cannot change the course of history for your own satisfaction.. or because you dont like the Greeks.

Ashurbanipal's library dates to around 635BC. Basic maths shows that you only went back 2,702 years back..

Reply..

Dreams don't occur in date or alphabetical order.. and since we are getting technical about it.. I did say.." I had gone back in time – more than 6000 years" which means I had to pass the year 2,702 to get to 6000.

The legend of the hanging gardens of Babylon have erroneously come down to us from Greek legends. Recent findings show that they were actually the hanging gardens of Nineveh..


Reply..

They always have and always will be known as " The Hanging Gardens of Babylon "
but by all means.. you are free to call them The Hanging Gardens of Chung Hi Chuk.. freedom of speech is a wonderful thing. Oh! and another thing.. when you are writing the name of something.. whether it be the name of a person or a monumental object.. it's always good to use capital letters. It shows good writing and grammar skills.

It's also better to call the corrupted queen Shamiram by her original name, Sammuramat..


Reply..

Why is it better??.. this is the name she is known by.. why confuse the issue??
How many girls named Sammuramat do you know??

King Nimrod - Bible fairy tale. There was no King Ashur although many had Ashur in their names..


Reply..

Well.. I am guessing that you don't have any factual evidence or proof based on this claim so i'm going to have to dismiss it and take the Bibles' side..and if there was no King Ashur.. then where did the name originate from??.. could it have been Alaha Ashur??

What about the ancient city of Baghdad? If you were true to history you'd name all the great empires our ancestors constructed..


Reply..

When I write a history book.. I will include all of these great empires for you and maybe even include a few pictures.. unless you want a poem that will take you 3 days to read..

Our name is well known outside of our community. You just can't accept it.


Reply..

You are absolutely right.. it is well known "outside" of our community.. it's the people "inside" of our community that can't seem to remember what it is.


Imagination is a wonderful thing.


Thankyou for your time
