We are not egoistical, just absent minded sometimes.
We forget from time to time to give the dues to poets like CJ Heck who gives children a voice, to Ted Glines sharing and trying to help bewildered unpublished authors, to the ones that only want for us a Review so their Muse doesn't go deaf and their ink dries up.
Lady, Bill, Joyce, Holly, Kimmy, Morning, Art, Gus and many many more, no one receive their dues as they should, so, somewhere we most start doing it, my choise for start doing it?
read along, we are talking of one poet that didn't lose the use of classics words remainding us of the Roman Forum or the Greek Forum of Philosophers, lets honor, among us, this one crying for peace...
As Archimedes took an immersing bad...
Numbers came "overflowing" to his mind,
Diogenes couldn't care less, walking with
Rosseau he was pondering if they could
Ever a really honest man, out there, find.
Epicurus, impatient with the others was to
Mathematic's Pythagoras asking wy
Members philosophers should notice that
Archimedes needs proving something when
No one cared if all it took was a bad,
Until Plato eloquent pointed, that positive
Empathy against the pains of jealousy
Leaves a philosopher with not a thing to say.
Blending lights those from the Forum
Equal that respect the words of an equal mad,
No one above and no one below it is said,
Descartes will loved to be included and
Aristoteles approved his wish, more than that,
Voltaire got his tongue in the discussion
Inquiring if the waited one was arriving today.
Battle cry, maybe his name came from the literary pond,
Euclid knows from the gods his giving name and
Nietzche perhaps already told us about this waited one.
Yesterday's philosophers are, for him, waiting in fever,
Epicurus, impatient, giving a hard time to all of them,
Hyppocrates oaths to heal everyone and do no harm,
Until the muses decide to fill the reserved place.

Reviews of "In Olympus...a reserved place (acrostic)"
Very appropriate lines indeed filled with exactly the kind of flowing style and brilliant substance that makes the work of Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU truly classic in its own right. IN OLYMPUS...A RESERVED PLACE is a jewelled orb of literary wonder that dazzles the reader with much delight and much gratitude.

I CAN THINK OF NO POET WHO DESERVES THESE WORDS OF PRAISE AND ADMIRATION MORE. I HAVE SPENT MANY HOURS READING AND REREADING ANDRE'S MATERIAL. WHEN I POST I LOOK ANXIOUSLY FOR A WORD OF PRAISE FROM HIM BECAUSE IT IS A VALIDATION OF MY SMALL ACCOMPLISHMENT IN A FIELD OF GIANTS. THANK YOU FOR DOING SO WELL WHAT I HAVE NOT HAD THE COURAGE TO DO.

Georg, this is a deserving tribute for Andre, and written beautifully. Let's hope the muses take a long time and reflect wisely before he is removed from our presence. He is a dear man. Thank you too for honoring him this way.
Andre is MORE than a poet, and is very deserving or this tribute. Thank you George, your fine poem speaks volumes and is a showcase of your own artistry.
A tribute indeed to one of our own Master Poets, and one of my poetic heroes and mentors. I bow to both of your pens. Peace,Love, Blessings, and Gratitude for caring and sharing from one just beginning to see the wind. <Mikii>
Ah, Georg, a joy to read your tribute to our own glorious master poet, Andre! He truly expounds and illuminates the words of us who cast them to the heavens. You are most kind and generous. An excellent write!
May Your heart be pumping wisdom for many healthiful years through a creative life.
Esteemed Author-Poet:
You have shown that You have a permanent place “IN THE OLYMPUS”.
This apprentice-poet by The Grace of Mother Poet couldn’t be happier and prouder... You added dews of grace and humanity to the chalice of my heart.
I wish to live and act to honor this GIFT ~ as I function in my world ~ “On my journey to Justice for Justice everywhere” in cooperative attitude, gratitude and reverent admiration; a world that has “no poet me”, but intergalactical creators, by the Grace of Mother Poet.
Your gift shall stand in my life as a tree of green boughs producing useful fruits.

Refined, His great and talent I think this is an excellent
Tribute to a great Philosophers Andre Emmanuel
I'm sure he will be very please!!

George..I have never read a more complete poem and so well expressed as this one.
In Olympus...a reserved place (acrostic)
And outstanding great vividness of the cry for peace
Excellent Imagery throughout
And also want to tank you for including me among such
great and talented poets like you George
And everyone in CJ Heck Lady, Bill, Joyce, Holly, Kimmy Art, Gus

That my words are released and received is my reward in this world. When I read the words of others and they inspire my own words, this is their tribute to them. Lost are we all in a world where words have little meaning yet found in muse those same words open our hearts and minds to endless possibilities in this world and the next. Great tribute today, it's a honor to read your work. Lady J

Greetings to Author Poet Georg E. Mateos, and to all that these words may read.
This work bears the laurels’ crown of a poet that drinks water from a well of wisdom and feeds his mind with knowledge from the Supreme Creator.
I have read all works of the tributee posted to date, inclusive his poetic-romantic-socio-politic tetralogy written in Spanish:
“Embajadores de Helicon;
Adalides de los cielos;
Alfabeto Antiguo de Una Inquisición Moderna;
and Trucos del Amor”.
The closing lines of “In OLYMPUS... a reserved place (acrostic)” made me recall the tributee’s recent posting titled, “To Asclepius Son Of Apollo”
As one opens his biopage and scrolls down to “Additional Informaation,“WHEN THE BLADES Of THE SWORDS SHINE” – tells one what made this tributee – a poet. Going through his Den, one will read “FORGET NOT, POETS...”, which gives a picture of his whereabouts; and “SOLDIER OF FRATERNITY” will complete his poetic Id.
Thank you for opening the pages of humunity; for standing by the Hall of Justice; and for honoring POETRY and the American Fine Letters.
I leave you now with words of your peer
– German Author/Poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: "Who is the happiest of men? He who VALUES the MERITS of others, and in their PLEASURE takes joy, even as though as they WERE his OWN.”
Fantastic tribute here Georg!
There are those, like Andre, who must NOT go unnoticed. Your pen worked hard and the creativity blended in this acrostic, "In Olympus...a reserved place" displayed the unique personalities of the gods, in a probable discussions among them and how Andre will shine among them...filling the reservation.
Excellent!
Thank you, Georg, for the mention of my name included in this mark of history for tomorrows to learn...
