The Visions of Cassandra

If I be Witch; Enchantress, yes!
Hades own sweet Sorceress
My Siren's Song to him belongs
Medea, may I wear your dress?
By Spell or Charm, I mean no harm,
Your beating Heart is all I need
Oh, Circe's swine! Where is mine?
Must I pray to Hecate?
With Titan's wrath, as Heroes pass,
I shall capture one for me!

*I have an immense love for Greek mythology so this piece may be more difficult to understand if you are not familiar with the references. "Hecate" is pronounced "Heck-a-tee" and "Circe" is pronounced "Seer-see" or  "Sir-see" :)

Debbie Guzzi Date: 3/22/2014 3:20:00 PM Yes me too I love myths but Chan where's the meat?? So far all I have read would be called light poetry perhaps even ditties? I have no problem with rhyming poetry but I do like a good story, like what you tell in prose. A lot of characters up there doing what together? Light & Love Login to Reply

It is apparent what it is about and done brilliantly :) Login to Reply Just That Archaic Poet Date: 8/22/2013 7:52:00 AM Thanks, Karen! I know all the references ares somewhat random and disjointed, but I enjoyed mentioning and using some of my favorites. Thank you for stopping by and leaving the kind and encouraging words :)
