deep the void, he uttered words thus rarely muttered not once erred or stuttered Schleicher's fable ... hence, his master's horses saw their lesser courses yet, with god-like forces turned the table ... sheepish, though, one stated how its schemes were fated bound through man and hated that bleak label ... now, these ages followed found the phrases hollowed morsels dreamed and swallowed barely able ... riddles, meant for others would so end in smothers if he'd delved his druthers from minds, stable ... still here, from worlds away with heavens thus arrayed as Schleicher's myth decayed cosmos' ... cable. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Violette Poem" Poetry Contest, Mick Talbot, Judge & Sponsor.

You've bound and unbound Prometheus in one long, fluid, stroke of your mighty pen. The challenge never had a chance; the prize is in the poem itself. Magnifico!

Very kind of you, Sandra, many thanks to you, my friend! I'm hoping someone else knows either Schliecher's Fable, (crucial to the history of language), or the "Prometheus" reference, (and the connection I drew), but it seems folks enjoyed it anyway! Blessings, my friend! :-) <3
