Cut the Medusa Head
Serpants hissing round the dime
Constricted notions and assumptions
Come like Perseus
Cut the head off the beast...

Andromeda Is Saved
Woman
Chained to a rock
Perseus is your hero
He saves you from the bad Gorgon.
Happily, you are spared.

Medusa
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

Stars In Time
If I could go back in time;
I would rename the stars that shine.
Hercules and Perseus would be replaced;
Elijah and Moses would take their place.
The Ten Commandments would shine brightly in the sky;
Reminding us that the zodiac signs were but a lie.
God's promises would be seen above,
As a wonderful sign of his love.
When the time has passed and gone by;
Just remember God never lied....

Andromeda
Dear maiden Andromeda up in the sky.
I gaze upon you on a clear, starry night.
What a beautiful sight you are to my eye.
For ages, you have been a cosmic delight.
You were named for someone in mythology.
The stars outline you, and display your beauty.
Your brave hero Perseus will come your way.
He is strong and mighty, and will save the day.

Medusa and Her Sisters
Three sisters
Medusa, Stheno and Euryale
From Greek mythology
Winged women
With venomous snakes for hair
Two immortal, one not
King recruits Perseus to slay Medusa
The only mortal one
She happened to be pregnant
Out of her headless body sprang
Pegasus a winged horse
and a giant with a gold sword
Makes a terrific story
Do not gaze into Medusa’s eyes
Even though she has been beheaded
Or you might turn into stone...

In the Piazza
A sculpture by Cellini*
Stands in Florence in a square.
Since 1554 you can find
Perseus still there.
He holds Medusa's head aloft
Triumphantly to show
All comers of his deed,
The head the proof they'd need to know.
Commissioned by a duke, Cellini
Worked for nine long years,
Resulting in a masterpiece
As great as it appears.
How magical to gaze at something
Made in ancient times.
No words can quite convey that feeling;
Neither can my rhymes.
*Benvenuto Cellini...
