Selene


You mere mortals I have told repeatedly.
We gods and goddesses on Mt. Olympus
want to be known by our true identity.
I have already approached you about this.
I’m the moon goddess; “Artemis” is my name.
Perhaps Helios should consume you with flame.
If I hear any of you call me “Selene”,
I will have to do something very obscene.

Robert Pettit for Nette’s “Into The Mood of Imagery” contest.

thanks robert for entering; a real nice work.. just a gentle reminder to use "Selene" as the main title... you can put your own "Don;t Call Me Selene" on the main page of your poem as a sub-title... just part of the rules, yes??.. :) huggs!
