Angela Crabtree Poet Couplet

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

Paul Callus November 27, 2020 at 11:38 AM Ah...the Greek goddess of hunting! I believe she did kill Orion (maybe by mistake). ~ Regards // paul Angela Crabtree November 27, 2020 at 5:11 PM Could be ;)

Vijay Pandit October 24, 2020 at 5:59 AM This feels so deep, Angela--because it is-- the voice of goddess so elegantly rendered. Angela Crabtree October 24, 2020 at 3:03 PM Thank you, Vijay for the kind words. :)

Silent One October 24, 2020 at 3:58 AM 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... Angela Crabtree October 24, 2020 at 3:03 PM Thank you and you're very welcome, Silent One. :)

Victor Buhagiar October 23, 2020 at 10:41 PM I studied Greek mythology long time ago. A favourite figure. Lovely poem ~~ Angela Crabtree October 24, 2020 at 3:06 PM I look at it from time to time. Thank you for reading my poems and commenting, Victor. :)
