Premium Member Gorgon Calling

Medusa came calling one day
selling Avon.  What can I say?
To stone I did turn.
“It's so hard to earn
a living,” she cried.  “Rocks can't pay!”
Form: Limerick

Its All Greek To Me

A serpent saved Eve from a drouth
Medusa just opened her mouth
But snakes in her hair
How did they get their?
The Devil don't know North from South?
Form: Limerick

Premium Member Reluctant Plumbers

Plumbers refuse to make a return visit.
After Medusa washes her hair out well.
Too many eager snake eyes watching them.
Down the drain where monsters dwell.
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Medusa Is Loose

You were a close friend. 
Until I had a different point of view.
Your tiara turned into snakes.
Envenomated my peaceful place.
In turn, I gifted a mirror to you.


Premium Member Reading Between the Lines

My wants and my desires
Medea to be heard
If only Medusa to afro the snake

In my kitchen no arsenic
but do not step on my toes
as my fangs will deliver the venom

Medusa Goes To Ireland

MEDUSA GOES TO IRELAND

      Medusa had green snakes for hair
      For what, no one recalled
      She sailed and saw Saint Patrick
      And now she’s gone quite bald
Form: Rhyme

Morning Hair

open mind wide screen thought image of you
hair like medusa frozen
beneath the full moon scream

Medusa

And so I turned away from the world 

I faced myself 

My shadows writhing set in stone 

I saw myself alone 

I stared myself unknown 

In silence to insane 

I retired in self blame
Form: Rhyme

Athena

A bold warrior goddess
Aided Odysseus
As he murdered Trojans
Adjusts Medusa to
A scary Gorgon, FREEZE
Aptly spins perfect web 
Arachne can’t surpass.

Premium Member Burn To Fly

As Pegasus arose
From Medusa slain,
So the Phoenix grows
From necessary flame.

Ingest your serpents' venom,
Those lessons learned through pain;
Don't wait for death for heaven,
Through your fire be born again.

Gaze of Medusa

In the sand I sleep,
Under the sand she creeps,
gentle dreams of peace I see,
She sense me with glee,
Turning over I see,
Medusa's gaze piercing me,
I took her hand,
went under the sand,
To dream gentle dreams.

Medusa
Mythology of three sisters
Monstrous, snakes coiled as hair
Men who are human are hated
Mortal and beauty is she
Most turned to stone when eye to eye
Murdered by Perseus for her head
Minerva’s punishment

Premium Member Attack Alas Alack of Snack

Fishy and Medusa like
moves subtle in piscean flight

Slower than darting eyes
small mammals increase your size

Shady (steak out) waiting
cold smooth incalculable expectant satiating

Serpent Woman

Mirrors remind her she must live alone
Everything she sees, she turns to stone 
Dismal future she now faces
Ugly snakes upon her head like laces
She is a gorgon, Medusa is her name
Athena punished her, for beauty was her shame
Form: Acrostic

Dis Belief

hard
ly awake

staring into
the bathroom

mirror
but not

able to
move

now wide
eyed awake

i cannot
but keep

from
what

unkempt hair
is this that's there

me standing
as stone

if so
i've

become
my own

Medusa
Form:

This Autumn

Like water hyacinth of lake 
you cannot run away 
from your psyche.

       *

A separation from the 
body was imminent. 
Moon was calling.

        *

The myth was there, 
and summer, the night 
opens like a medusa.

Face Off

in your valley
looking passed
kneecapped 
mountains

facing the cave
below where
your cyclops
lives

not looking
at your medusa
moaning over 
your siren's song

i am no man
Willy Loman
Everyman but
perhaps

immoral
immortal
importantly
yet it is you

who 
are
multi
faceted

Medusa

What anguish masks her face
with cherry chapstick on her lips
and Medusa’s beautiful head of hair
there are signs of inner turmoil seen
in her deep blue eyes and her demeanor,
Or is this just an attempt to conceal her
quintessential adolescent awkwardness?

Essence


essence 

The winds of war
lift the essence 
of man to face
the face of man 
each speak 
over the other
listening for 
the true soul’s
confirmation

From Medusa To Madonna Part I

Faultless art is ceased in silence
Quite often curious how achieved
Never a month a year ever deep
Stories never apprise as much
Sculptures an paintings score

Medusa a fallen angel's myth
Hue'd by an artists true life
Roaring a cry to let not die
To love water pale Madonna
Gave texture purity an life

Medusa

Hello I have a request… 
LOOK INTO THY EYES
Forsake my snakes 
Forsake the people I turned to stone
LOOK INTO THY EYES
I’m here to slither into your soul
Turn it to stone
And you ROT cold to the bone
LOOK INTO THY EYES
Forsaken to t’hee
Bring lust and gold to prosper
Rich to poor
Poor to Rich
LOOK INTO THY EYES
Please…

From Medusa To Madonna Just Began Part Ll

Bewitched by Madonna assay to last
The grief once felt was hard to past
And drew her innocence with tone
To never leave a sights inside frawn
For an art no similar exist, will never 

Leonardo have loved a prise not any
Hied he to win her, petals never late
Love then sapped his past long greif
Manifested art hence in every belief
art

Virulent

Love such as this is virulent.
Caustic and toxic, this love burns my innards.
I burn for you.
I need no antidote.
This love is worth the pain.
Your venomous tongue lashes me.
Words cannot hurt me now.
Your eyes petrify me, Medusa.
But my advances will not be halted.
I need my venomous fix.
My blood boils, 
Ready for your poison to contaminate.
