Pegasus

The Greek poet Hesiod, really knew his stuff He told of the trials and tribulations, and all that mythological fuss Sired by Poseidon as the horse-god, foaled by Medusa with snake hair Pegasus born a winged horse divine; to others it was not fair His mother died decapitated, by young Perseus son of Zeus Some say it was as her blood stained the ground, and that was her use Zeus took this winged horse and sent him to thunder bring Because he wanted to be thunder holder, as he was the Olympian King Pegasus the bringer, of aqua springs wherever his feet touched Sent by Poseidon to mount Helicon, to stop it swelling too much The rapturous songs of the muses, Poseidon thought the Mount would explode Pegasus did alight, to lighten the pressure untold. Zeus then took Pegasus, after many exciting excursions A wondrous thunder carrying beast And to lighting he had no aversions. He placed him the sky as Pegasus the constellation As we search the skies we see him, he is there for the duration. © GG 17/06/2013
