Medusa Kiss

by Timothy r   Oct 2, 2007


Your looks once legendary
The Gods fought for immortal bliss
Just to experience the Medusa kiss

Jealousy reared its ugly head, while
Irony gave you a new face inferior
Serpents covering eyes of dark dead
The Mighty Zeus showed you a mirror
A lonely existence of fear and dread

Searching for reason in my pitiful life alone
I call to the Gods for an eternal tryst
To carve my name in mystical stone
As I lean in close for that Medusa kiss

    This was not bad the images were good but abit off, the story too left abit to the imagination. I enjoyed it but I thought it too short to get the whole story of the titan out Plot121

    Wow... this poem is so unique, truly excellently written. I like atmosphere that you created, it is so mystical, and the mythological contend adds great effect to this piece.
    My favorite stanza is:

    -Jealousy reared its ugly head, while
    Irony gave you a new face inferior
    Serpents covering eyes of dark dead
    The Mighty Zeus showed you a mirror
    A lonely existence of fear and dread-

    Keep up!

    Very nice. The broken pattern and rhyme scheme helped convey the curiosity and apprehension that one must feel when searching out that Medusa kiss.

    Really well done Timothy. I like the rhymes and near rhymes, and that you didn't stick to a rigid line/rhyme pattern. And any allusions to Mythology are alright in my book!
