Short Mount Olympus Poems

An enterprising young boy from Memphis
Made it his goal to climb Mount Olympus
Short-legged in stock
He fancied a smock
And he couldn't round up a consensus.

Descendent of Great Zeus

Dwelled on Mount Olympus
Divined as god of wine
Devoted to vino

Wedding Top Mount Olympus

Daintiness gauges in the light
Harmonia illuminates the Hall
Aphrodite and Ares delighted
Cadmus finagles an approach
All of Olympus in observance.
~Elysium shines~

Tethered to my youth
When all the days were golden
Life was so easy
Living on Mount Olympus 
No fear,  I was immortal.

Insidious age
Youth is no longer fettered
That boat has long sailed
But seas I navigate now
Are calm, filled with memories.


Tethered to a Moment

Up to Mount Olympus
Where the Rabbi sits
Dolling out Mitzvah
In his sing song voice
Down into the pit
Where evil boils hot
Spewing out terror
In earth-shaking noise

Over to the West
Where the KING reigns
From a castle of blood
In-trenched by kids
On the winds of the East
Where the emperor struts
Whirling the air with breath
In disasters that alter the grid

One ROAR brings it all tumbling down....
