Deliberately Unnamed, Unsigned,
Deliberately Unnamed, Unsigned, 1st
I flew to Olympus, to find its heart,
armor intact against Hades’ dark wrath.
At birth the power of light made its start
as Homer's ghost sent me upon my path!
Yet there I found only an empty throne
where once Zeus in glory firmly reigned.
So sad! For no lighted wisdom was shown,
such that grievous and blue, my heart was pained!
Not finished---
Open Invitation to any poet to finish this
as either 1. a sonnet or 2. else a sixteen verse rhyme..
I will then choose four from the first ten submitted,
and post those four versions, citing each as our collaboration. ...
If interested, send me your additions in pm here and
I know many, many poets here, have the talent to complete this poem
(even surpassing my start).
I myself , have not written a conclusion to it and will not
do so, if I get enough responses.
By the way, each poet taking this opportunity should also
suggest a title for the finished poem..Thanks.
OFFER NOW CLOSED, eight highly talented members sent their concluding verses.
Four will be chosen from that eight.
Any questions, feel free to pm me here.
Second collab offering later next week will be on the theme of, The Love of Nature....
