Best Pegasus Poems
Winged horse
bright,star studded
my dreams fly with you tonight
light years beyond this starry sky
Pegasus,take me there.
Night sky
a tinselled cloak,
unveiling it on your wings
a journey among twinkling stars
nearer to God's home.

Born from the neck of his beheaded mother,
as her blood soaked the ground,
he rose and soared from the gore,
a beautiful winged stallion
most wondrous and divine among all horses.
White – completely white -
his wings were that of an angel,
and this amazing creature,
by soaring to the heavens,
transcended the mundane
by setting free his mother’s tortured soul.
Through history he flew
with his name synonymous
with wisdom, strength and courage.
Creator of Mount Helicon’s four sacred springs,
from whence nine water nymphs
sprang forth to bless the world,
Pegasus unleashed with the stamping of his hooves
melodious beauty gushing forth from fountains
when his friends the muses sang
and poetry came flowing from the heavens down to earth.
Pegasus resides now in the heavens.
Listen when it thunders.
Could those be his stamping hooves you hear?
Poetry is flowing to this very day,
for Pegasus lives on forevermore
shining brightly in the starry skies.

star gaze
a winged white horse
flies across the northern sky
lovers worldwide look in wonder
just as Ptolemy did

Pegasus
White horned horse flies high;
He spreads his wings wide to fly,
Zeus is his captain.
He stands so proud, his head held high,
He scents the air, nose to the sky;
To smell just what the rain might bring,
He’s regal like a royal king
He’s so majestic, a wild thing,
His prancing step now has a spring,
Feel the power his body sings;
Look close now you can see his wings,
Almost as if he wants to fly;
Up to the gods high in the sky…
The Greek poet Hesiod, really knew his stuff
He told of the trials and tribulations, and all that mythological fuss
Sired by Poseidon as the horse-god, foaled by Medusa with snake hair
Pegasus born a winged horse divine; to others it was not fair
His mother died decapitated, by young Perseus son of Zeus
Some say it was as her blood stained the ground, and that was her use
Zeus took this winged horse and sent him to thunder bring
Because he wanted to be thunder holder, as he was the Olympian King
Pegasus the bringer, of aqua springs wherever his feet touched
Sent by Poseidon to mount Helicon, to stop it swelling too much
The rapturous songs of the muses,
Poseidon thought the Mount would explode
Pegasus did alight, to lighten the pressure untold.
Zeus then took Pegasus, after many exciting excursions
A wondrous thunder carrying beast
And to lighting he had no aversions.
He placed him the sky as Pegasus the constellation
As we search the skies we see him, he is there for the duration.

The dream Pegasus
Tonight my eyes do not make and feel the light
As a century of re crucifixion
To ride Pegasus in a injured dream
Muse comes on as bride without veil
In distress I close even the pipe- hole of the soul
the flavor of pain does not ruin the spring on Olympus
Oh remained the space that do not violate from anyone
Sacrifice of blue rhapsody in a autumn lethargy
Painful prelude to the contract with God
Tonight I want to suffer until the bone
Albanian cardiac vein to screech and sing through the Illyricum
Infinitely to love and never hate
And what about if I die asleep from fatigue
Does it matter why crutch fate in survival suffers bruises
Zeus heart do break where we planting and harvesting tears and nostalgia
Slave to love in feuds of this anti life
Captive of goodness above pantheon of a concrete symphony
on your wings bring me to kiss Hestia Pegasus
With wings to soar, his hooves brought thunder
From the blood of Medusa* the winged horse was spawned
Pegasus, the mythical equine wonder
His father was said to be Poseidon
By the sword of Perseus* his mother, Medusa, lost her head
From the blood of Medusa the winged horse was spawned
His brother Chrysaor was also born as she bled
Pegasus was tamed using the magic bridle of Athena*
By the sword of Perseus his mother Medusa lost her head
He was ridden into battle to slay the Chimera*
Pegasus possessed wings to fly like a dove
Pegasus was tamed using the magic bridle of Athena
His constellation can be seen in the skies above
As he continues his celestial flight
Pegasus had wings to fly like a dove
You can see him on any given night
With wings to soar his hooves brought thunder
As he continues his celestial flight
Pegasus, the mythical equine wonder
~~
Athena* --- Daughter of Zeus, goddess of wisdom, arts and justice
Chimera* --- A fire breathing monster with a lion's head, a goat's body
and a serpents tail
Medusa* --- A gorgon, her gaze turned whoever she looked upon to stone
Perseus* --- Son of Zeus,
Poseidon* --- god of the sea, god of horses,
sky shape
majestic steed
feathered wings soar the heavens
expansive sea of midnight cast
where mystic dreams take flight

Pen a Pensee Contest
‘When only the satellites are spared in the distance
And the mother ship has lost her spin around the axis
When our last personal effects are launched in a capsule,
And we’re all gone, is there proof that we had a soul?’
My wings span Armageddon’s aftermath
Feet far removed from the scotching earth
Fluffed pillows suffocate my insomnia
I levitate on a bed of euphoria
‘I’m a warrior
I’m a survivor’
Gifted tongues for fangs
We bridge turbulent waters
Gifted hands instead of claws
We reap what we sow
I stencil my thoughts on the fabric of time
And flap my wings to all forms of freedom
I know my presence is a gift
And to deny others of me is theft
My palms bare blisters from the grasping of endless doors
They bleed from the endless digging of granite floors
I stare high at the bar of unrealised dreams within
And summon the valour to face (my worst nightmares) the griffin
Gifted talents instead of talons
We sore to greater heights
Gifted honour instead of bloodlust
We embrace all that is new and different
Gifted vision instead of eagle eyes
We envisage a brighter ever after
Wing tips tingling in the winds of change
I fly beyond to define a new age (a new world)
I fall to the warm embrace of novelty
Newton never invented gravity
Gifted hope instead of ropes
We are the emancipated hope(s)
Gifted longevity instead of nine lives
We appreciate what we’ve been gifted evermore
'May the soul never die'
racing along the crescent rainbow track into the human race
a starting gate drawn on a diagonal perspective to innovation
breaking the colour spectrum like a powerful brainstorm
riding from grassroots...rising to break the glass ceiling on the vertical
a supersonic impact sounding our heartbeat
a glowing prism of enlightenment into golden sunsets
each lane of colour, a special talent of the seven intelligences
myth and imagination striding for liberty
the human spirit galloping through nobility
burning like a torch, scorching eternal memory
piloting a superior being on a victory lap
an enchanted force, our curse to be forever victorious
seeking knowledge and truth at all cost
finding reason and innovation instead
the keen senses of prey becoming heightened as a conscience hunter
chasing the horizon in a herd of Pegasus’ like a vortex'
a brilliant white formation of storm clouds forms
at height of a heated race to perform a classic derby
rumbling as they cross the once blue sky like jetpacks into our double helix
the human spirit on wings to freedom driven on horsepower
the day the gods gave man willpower
The Birth of Pegasus
No, they really didn’t mean anything
by tying up a dancing, cavorting, prancing
colt with a heavy halter -
but God saw a use for spirit.
I feel sure no one saw them sprout,
just wings spread out over a garden,
hovering.
A vision for useful dreams.
Suzanne Delaney
Rearing on stardust, hungry for adventure
Grazing the evergreen imaginings
Beauty poised for new beginnings
Infer my taming abilities as head you lower
Enthral my youth with a thousand horsepower
Grasping your mane, you smell my fears
In my whimper, taste my naive years
Tears of joy along temples doubts overpowered
Your enchanted saddle is all I ever needed for comfort
A pencil with no lead drew your images in the soil
How I dreaded rain your grace would spoil
Until I grew a thick skin from walking barefoot
Palms stencil about your throbbing torso
You’ve taken my innocence too far
To a space cowboy on a distant star
In a perpetual somersault like a coin toss
To land on your wing...who needs a bicycle?
When I can take off to Andromeda
Time travel like a fearless gladiator
With the subtlety of a pen overcome any obstacle
Your quill completes my hand like ink to paper
I don’t believe in superstition, but your myth
Your wingspan overturns all reason and truth
For me to raise my calling to more than just a whisper

Contest Name: All That You Are
Sprouting full-formed
From the crimson life blood
Of a snake eyed medusa,
That succulent seducer,
The white horse shook his
Glittering diamond wings and
Wild mane that sung
Of untamed adventures and
Lost prophecies
Reigning the skies with
Giddy joy and bliss,
He came to land,
Enticed by a golden bridle
Wielded by a princely hero
Bellerophon
Singing his praise and
Carrying him through the
Winding canyons and
Glacial seas
That were the home of
The fire-breathing chimera,
The epitome of chaos rising
Carrying his rider to a
Flawless victory and above
And beyond to a
High flying adventure,
The hero rode his
Glittering white horse
To the high mountain,
A godly matter at hand
The skies opened and Zeus
Hurled his thunder,
Tossing the princely hero
To the still ground,
Forcing him to
Roam the earth,
A melancholy wanderer,
While his white steed
Ascended to the heavens
I gave lightning its thunder
Hotter than a thousand suns
Heaving gale winds into the atmosphere
I’m a typhoon riding the waves,
...reaping trees out by the roots
When I surrender my altitude
This close to the face of the earth
My eyes caught your irresistable sight
Cupid’s arrow shot me down
I caught my breath in your heart
Seeking the company of your thoughts
Oh, such a beautiful mind
Your eyes saw me in half
Cut me down to my knees
My sword is blunt against your shield
Unsheathed in the cold of the night
My metal armour melts in your glow
You held me like a wish
Come true
You caught me like a fish
Oceans blue
I fell into a dream
And found you
When your tears filled my palms
I was washed anew
Ploughing the wonders of the cosmos
Sowing the endless interstellar fields
Riding the continuous sunset
Tired of wrecking ships and tumbling castles
I couldn’t stay away from your love
Could there be another for my stable
When I only knew my solitude?
I could ride the universe...
Forever feel the solar wind in my hair
Navigate the stars on companionship
I come with a sealed message
From the ends of time
I bring you this ancient passage
Just as I've bestowed valour unto knight
To drink love from my radical stream
I couldn’t betray the joys of this day
So I gave daybreak its night
I could never tell what's on your mind,
But It’ll all be apparent forever after
How much your pair of wings mean to me
