Kim Van Breda Poet Light Verse

Grape Vines Leopard

GRAPE VINES LEOPARD

Dionysus
knew the way to his father’s heart
changing vines fruit into
wine
astounding Zeus with his bar chart
 art 
rewarding his genius making him a
god
 while the Greek prune juice
king
he sent to vast pastures of ring
sting

In funky leopard skin loin cloth
partying it up in ancient
Greece
sailors tried to destroy his
peace
 error of judgement caused their
demise
Dionysus 
turned them to dolphins
tossing them to vast oceans
tides


Morals we learn from this mythical
tale…
never mess with  Ancient Greek gods
sober or drunk their powers forever
prevail
