IF LOOKS COULD KILL

My dearest darling delectable Medusa
I was wearing dark glasses on the day we first met
You wanted your hair done, but it was no use-a 
as venomous snakes should be treated by a vet!

It was obvious that you’d once been so pretty
But you’d been cursed by that wicked Athena
Then been banished from town and the city
Your beauty gone; Athena couldn’t have been meaner!

I love to caress your angel like wings
As writhing asps kiss your hideous ears
You’re the one who pulls at my heartstrings  
I’ll be your love throughout our twilight years

One look from you can turn men to stone
I wear dark glasses so it doesn’t affect me
My love for you has blossomed and grown
We’ll be together forever for eternity

I wondered where you imagination would take you, but never did I imagine Medusa! This was such a fun read, your creativity and humor shines. I don't like it that Athena is responsible because that is the name of Tim's twin, and I'd never put that together before. I can't even look at Medusa in movies and here you are loving on her! Pure Jan, purely good! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Thanks CayCay I think Athena is such a pretty name! I did a little research before writing the poem but didn't do the whole story... just a little poetic licence and fun as i struggle with romantic writes lol:-) hugs jan xx

If she's for hire, what's she charge to turn men to stone with her look? I can offer her a job(s). Terrific write, Jan, as though you traveled along with Odysseus.

Jan Allison

LOL Lin, i just got this silly idea in my head and the poem formed. I originally planned to do about a superhero and then I re-read the rules ... what a numpty I am at time:-( hugs jan xx

So creative to choose Medusa! No one does that! Yet you did, and it was marvelous. I really like this one, Jan. It's all of that and a bag of chips for me.
