Andrea Dietrich Poet Pleiades

Notes About The Poem

Apollo

A twin -the brother of
Artemis, and the most
Attractive god was he.
Also god of music,
Archery, healing, plague
And light, he was nicknamed
“Averter of evil.”

John Watt March 5, 2022 at 6:38 PM Hard to imagine the god of plague being an averter of evil, haha. Nicely researched and packaged in pleiades format, a challenge you are more than able to meet. BW in the contest. Andrea Dietrich March 6, 2022 at 12:13 AM Originally I did not want to include plague, but I was off on my syllable count and then I noticed last line was "off" too. I originally said, "almost everything" (he was God of) but had to change to the "averter of evil" Truly, though, he was god of all SORTS of stuff.
