The Truth About Artemis

I shot a bow and arrow I didn't kill a sparrow Hit target on first buy righteous twas bulls-eye I did not hunt for deer though I kept one near There is a misconception concerning my reputation For one I don't shape-shift not a holy type of gift No harm done to Orion no heads of the Mayan I am mentioned in the Bible as revered and not tribal I condone not being worshiped I assist my fellow merchant I aid those not so blessed as well as those who guessed I hope this clears things up one day we'll dine and sup

Ah...the Greek goddess of hunting! I believe she did kill Orion (maybe by mistake). ~ Regards // paul

This feels so deep, Angela--because it is-- the voice of goddess so elegantly rendered.

I do like Greek mythology, but do not know much about it.. I wrote a poem once featuring some of the Gods.. Thank you for the lesson here and your support on my humble offerings...
