Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

"HADES--THE LUMINOUS ONE" FROM MY ROOF TOP GARDEN, 06 AUGUST 2017, MY PHOTO,©    

Hades

Hades





Death I saw passing by my neighborhood the other day

Some souls to harvest

Intrigued by his austere appearance I approached him and asked:

"Why oh you mighty,  Hades, we mortals terrified are at your presence?"

"Because of your ignorance", He enigmatically replied.

Gary Bateman August 6, 2017 at 10:22 AM Hello Demetrios, "Hades," huh?? And not the Old English Old Hob type of the Devil with horns and all!! I'm equally sure that Hades himself would be quite austere and frightening!! Excellent Personification here for sure!! Best, Gary Demetrios Trifiatis August 6, 2017 at 1:58 PM Well, we can call him by any name and nothing will change my friend as you so eloquently have written in your wondrous poem that deals with his nature! Thank you so much for your visit and comment dear Gary! Danke sehr mein freund!

Russell Sivey August 6, 2017 at 4:49 AM I thought this write to be exemplified by your tremendous style! To see death is very frightening, but to see Hades would be deathly fearsome! I loved this incredible poem here my friend! You have pleased my senses again Demetrios! What a grandiose piece, Great Work!! Demetrios Trifiatis August 6, 2017 at 1:52 PM My dearest friend, Russell, when I think of Hades I do not feel any fear because we cannot escape his realm so why to be afraid? Thank you for your well constructed observations and comments my friend!

Maria Williams August 6, 2017 at 1:14 AM Hi my friend, this must be your 1701 - And it's so correct. Loved the way you have personalized the 'unseen One' out of Greek mythology. Love it...Maria xx Demetrios Trifiatis August 6, 2017 at 1:50 PM Yes, it is 1701 but you missed 1702 dearest, Maria! Haha! Thank you my dearest for your delightful comment!
