Nicely done. I always liked that myth when we studied it in school.

Icarus, son of Daedalus. Icarus dared to fly too close to the sun, with feathers made of wax. The sun melted the wax and the feathers came loose and Icarus plummeted to his death into the ocean. What a wonderful verse. Love it! Hugs, Jennifer.

I pictured Daedalus sending off his son with fatherly words of wisdom...
