Short Hera Poems

Zeus the god of the sky.
Even a rifle wont make him die.
Hera is his wife.
The god of marriage supporting life....

Tiresias- the man and woman
was cursed by the matting serpents clan,
Passionate Hera
built his blind era,
Zeus blessed him prophecy with no fan!

Hercules
Hero mortal of Greek Mythology
Hera his mother jealous of him 
Had left him in the woods to expire
Hidden and fed from Minerva’s nipple
He is imbued with strength
Hence “The Strongest of all Gods”
His twelve labors a penance fulfilled...

Hera

Hope, Goddess of marriage
Habit Greek dress and crown
Hangs where family life
Home is loving strongest
Hides as a bird to spy
Happy to please, mortal
Heroes, she has soft spot

Listen to poem:

*Image of Iris The Greek Goddess by Redbubble.

Iris

Iris nicknamed Eye-ris,
Iridescent paired wings,
Indulgent to the gods,
Iliad's messenger,
In waiting for Hera,
Ignored in ancient myths,
Idyllic comes and goes.

Handsomely heroic
Half human heavyweight
Hera hates, harries him
Hacks hideous hydras
Hunts horrid Hades hound
Hippolyta heister
Hitches honey, Hebe

Beautiful Lamia
Queen of Libya
Lover of Zeus
Rival of Hera

Beautiful Lamia
Became a mother
Loved by Zeus
Despised by Hera

Wife of Zeus
The jealous Hera
Murdered the children
Of Beautiful Lamia

Driven insane by grief
Beautiful Lamia 
Became an ugly
Child devourer

Hera became
A vengeful b***h
Lamia became
A blood sucking witch...

With the weight of the world upon my shoulders,
Like Atlas doomed to uphold the Sky
Or Sisyphus and his boulder-
On Pegasus to thither fly?
The Minotaur and its Maze, 
Medusa and her stony gaze,
Aries in a monstrous rage,
As Hades steals my Soul to die
Prometheus, who gave us fire,
Apollo and his golden Lyre,
Hera and her jealous ire,
And Zeus, who ignores my cries!...

Banished by Zeus’s jealous wife, Hera, 
the lively Oread, Echo, 
began to wander haplessly
into the mountain ranges
The depths of dark abysses
The doleful tunnels and
The abandoned mines,
The desolate caves,
valleys and ravines. 

Lovelorn and pining 
for her lost love, Narcissus,
the once loquacious Echo 
could now recall only 
the last shreds of 
someone else's spoken words....

Why for we seem so wise
yet act so foolishly;
Why so we create laws
for others to follow
saying,look I know best
forb those other fellows;
It's for your greater good
shape up,hera what I say,
It's much the better way;
I've given this some thought
(but not as much as I ought);
What about me, you say?
What I do privately
is,not for you to see;

Why for we seem so wise
yet act so foolishly;...

ENDLESS WINTER

There’s a big to do
On the high Olympus Mount
He in charge of spring
Has wandered off    taken wing
And the wild snow piles higher

Zeus is so angry
God Winter rages uncheck’d
All is ice covered
Wife    Hera scolds day and night
Athena shivers    a fright

A search is begun
Have you seen spring anyone
And at last he’s found
Sleeping in some Shangri La
A land of eternal sun...

Hera precious, gorgeous queen of splendor,
of mighty Ares,and Enyo,the mother,
to thee I write my gratitude and thanks
for all thy blessings showered upon my head.
Thine is the pomegranate and the diadem,
with which you rule all worlds and human lands,
with magnanimous mercy and charity.
of rainbow colors dressed divine thou art,
the sunny smiling matron of the arts,
Thou,queen, who favorest the pure of heart....

Professor Pipi was an ornithologist
                    He kissed a girl with a curl and named her Just kissed
                                     She was a bard of Lepidoptera
                                    Wrote an epic on Zeus and Hera
                          Pipi read it and fainted and went to play whist
