Pegasus, the Legend

Sprouting full-formed From the crimson life blood Of a snake eyed medusa, That succulent seducer, The white horse shook his Glittering diamond wings and Wild mane that sung Of untamed adventures and Lost prophecies Reigning the skies with Giddy joy and bliss, He came to land, Enticed by a golden bridle Wielded by a princely hero Bellerophon Singing his praise and Carrying him through the Winding canyons and Glacial seas That were the home of The fire-breathing chimera, The epitome of chaos rising Carrying his rider to a Flawless victory and above And beyond to a High flying adventure, The hero rode his Glittering white horse To the high mountain, A godly matter at hand The skies opened and Zeus Hurled his thunder, Tossing the princely hero To the still ground, Forcing him to Roam the earth, A melancholy wanderer, While his white steed Ascended to the heavens
