L Milton Hankins Poet Pleiades

Helios

Halo over his head
He had piercing, fierce eyes
Had children, some unknown
Heralded much like Zeus,
He rode across the skies
Helios was a fierce competitor
Horae, goddess he wed.

Jenna Logan March 1, 2022 at 10:54 AM Fun facts, Milt. I’ve sent you mail. L Milton Hankins March 1, 2022 at 11:54 AM Thanks, Jenna. LOL. I checked and I omitted a line when I was typing it into the contest. I fixed it, if it isn't too late. I notice that it had been read.
