Pandora,a lass with 'all gifts'
Let curiosity take her a step toofar,
When mankind's evil flew from her jar-
Only hope,inside,was to remain
Released,it's relief,to ease pain.
The myth of Prometheus/zeus/Pandora & her box
I am grateful to Chronos and Philotes…
the Gods of time and affection in Greek myth
Chronos for reminding me
that time is precious
And Philotes for reminding me
that even more precious than time
is who we choose to spend time with.
ghostly gray petals—
a shadow crossing the grass
I stepped on a name
______________
A minimalist reflection on mourning and the erosion of identity, set in the asphodel fields of Greek myth, where unremarkable souls wander without memory…
Have I ever told you that I have boisterous brawls with
myself over what type of tv show to watch—Greek myth,
nature, comedy, murder mystery, Covid documentary,
or science? We can never agree. So I end up writing poetry
about how this isolation is good for us—I mean ME!

Cassandra
My sister in suffering
our stories align
Betrayed by him
you had devoted
your being to serve
Never adored
Mocked and ignored
Driven mad by derision
for no one would listen
Viciously violated
seeking sanctuary
Your pleas to the gods
going unanswered
I see your visage
in my mirror
as your eyes
peer into mine
within my own prison
You were fated to die
as am I
Homographs are delightful.
Spelled exactly alike
But totally different meanings
Words like Boil
Dolly cart or dolly doll?
Blue – a feeling or a color?
Crest.
A toothpaste? a hill or a rooster’s feathers?
Albatross – bird or burden?
Amazon.
Ancient Greek myth about superior female race
Parrot
Or the obvious?
Politician
Self-serving millionaire in the making?
Liar? Thief?
Or mislead idealist?

My Fear of Hell
I fear physical death because I may just go…
To the scorching yard of God's enemies
Where I will be slave to diabolic royalties
Like an acolyte of Warcraft Undead who summon atrocities!
To the spiritual crematorium of demons who rape
Where I will be prisoner to a jail of no escape
Like Prometheus of Greek Myth as mournful as a crape!

*My Fear of Death Collection
The Son of God
ain’t no Hercules,
Jesus Christ
ain’t no Greek myth story
His crucifixion
is real as real can be
And His resurrection
is a gospel tale
the whole world continues to read
The feats of Hercules
is a made up story
The miracles of Jesus Christ
multiplies,
and continues to feed
The Son of God
ain’t no son of Zeus fairytale fable
The power of Jesus Christ
is real ... always is,
and always will be more than able
Rolling, rolling over the waves of swine
Black flour and sour milk combine
In Circe’s meat filled doughy pies
Filled with death and Ulysses men’s horrific cries.
The Queen was left to go untied
Moving out to sea she died
Past ghosts recovering lost saints
Rescued as floating foamy crumbling flakes
In blood-soaked waters
Ulysses saved, his mind all a shake
His men were drawn and baked in quarters
But he is still alive and much awake
