Late at night,
when the world is quiet,
they can plan to work,
to get what to eat.

What's funny,
they sweat the whole day,

and then they starve.

Funny as they are,
my mum at home,
she nicknamed them,
a funny sweet name,
" I  eat all i get'....

Artemis, and the most
Attractive god was he.
Also god of music,
Archery, healing, plague
And light, he was nicknamed

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.

At that Fine Edge,

Lowered the Earth's Grin,
And Spread Out,

That Fine Edge,
Far, Far Away,
Sank the Earth's Grin,
Spread the Earth's Grin,

An Earth's Grin,
Closed as a Blue Flood came,
For now

The Flood we Nicknamed Night,
Goodbye the Earth’s Grin,...

    The incomparable Ray Charles. "Robinson" was his surname.

The woman was angry and called me dumb.
Because I had nicknamed her mettlesome.
Mixing up this word
With another- so absurd.
The mean adjective that is meddlesome.

I quickly showed her this tiny mistake.
Stubborn her head was as hard as a rake.
She kept a grudge.
Thus I called her “pudge”
So I guess best friends we will never make....
