The Sibyl - Zeus

Midi bright October night, In the sky-eyed clouds, Gold and silver then my Lord Did radiate thy wondrous light. At each few steps I paused, Turned my face upward To bathe in your suspended strength - Bearded Zeus, Thy razor-sharp nose, Square-cut head, Ulotrichous beard, Blazing away so near above - Old Zeus Cloud gatherer.

I like the use of mythology in this piece. As you know, Zeus liked the ladies, and frequently dropped to earth for amorous adventures with nymphs and mortals. I can see the images in this piece. Great job! ~Joseph

Greek Mythology is truly fascinating. Wish they would make a new really cool movie about it. (I could just read : ) Such great magical fantasy to escape to. Love the imagery here. You are caught up in the enchantment of it all. Thanks for sharing. Love, Shar
