Haha I haven't read the epic but I've got an overview of the sirens section now. I went and got a burrito immediately after writing it and things were fine after that haha :) glad you liked it

Wow! This must be the longest 'title' to a poem I've ever seen, and to a senryu ... I like mythology. It sometimes gets it right. The poem is somewhat dark. I tiff with someone?

Haha no, I went to view the painting I wrote about last night in the gallery, was happily writing notes when it transpired I had no clue about the original story. I've read up now, but think needing to follow a story line ruined the poem anyway or maybe that was the forced rhyming. Also, can't believe I know almost no mythology. What was I doing all my life haha!
