Her glare pierces true
For she always comes to light
Bitter yet so free


Another day, another haiku!
This one is dedicated to Alethia, Goddess / Spirit of Truth.
I k how there isn't much on her, but honestly, I appreciate this goddess because shes rather prevalent in our day to day lives.
Weve all lied about something and to get out of the truth, we cover it with more lies. But the truth has a way of always coming to light, and it can be bitter, harsh and hurtful...it can set us free.
Theres a beautiful elegance to it really...

She of molded clay
Fingers trace the wooden ***
Poison whispers sweet


You know what they say about curiosity and boxes, this one is dedicated to the one and only Pandora.
Even when she ket curiousity get the best if her an unleashed so much negativity, she also released hope and that alone will see us through.

She of moonfire
Entranced by her sleeping prince
Hands on heart, serene


This haiku is dedicated to Selene, Goddess of the Moon.
I love Selene for many reasons but what cemented my love for her was none other than Sailor Moon!
I love how their story is depicted in the manga and anime, Usagi and Selene will always have a special place in my heart.
Of course I grew up with the myth of her crushing ******* Endymion, Zeus granting her wish to keep the Shepard ageless while in eternal sleep and she sired 50 daughters which really weirded me out. So Ive somewhat rewritten the myth in mind.
Even so, Im grateful for Selene.
As much as I'm a logophile and biblophile , I'm very much a selenophile ^-^

Sheer silks rise and fall
Pleasure wrapped in dulcet tones
Joy beads down her brow


This haiku is dedicated to Hedone, the Goddess of Pleasure.
Other than her being the daughter of Cupid and Psyche, there isnt much on her either. Pleasure has many connotations, mich like her own name also so what better way than to play around with it!
These haikus sure are fun to do!

Honey-kisssed curls dance
Calm, she whistles while she works
Nectar on her lips


This haiku is dedicated to Melissa, the Goddess of Honey.

Another goddess who I adore even though there isn't much about her either. Anytime I see bees, I like to think that its Melissa calling them as their Queen, haha! I always love to live in a world of make believe.

Bolt-haired and moon-skinned
Kiss of dew nourish the Earth
Flora sweetened now


This haiku is dedicated to Ersa aka Herse, the Goddess of Dew.
There isnt much about her myth wise but still, I want to give every woman of myth love they much deserve! She's the daughter of Zeus of Selene but still she fascinates me, haha!
Thank you so so much for 367 followers, I'm honestly speechless and grateful! πŸ™πŸŒΉπŸ’œ

Eos

Dawn with rose fingers
Stars glimmer in lounging eyes
She weeps from heartbreak


Haiku for the day!
This one is for Eos, Goddess of Dawn.
Another unfortunate who was jealously cursed by love for fall for those who do not want her in turn...
Im taking it easy but expect more freeverses from me soon! I'm honestly grateful for the love and support. πŸ™πŸŒΉπŸ’œ

In running water
She prepares her healing hands
Work upon the sick

Cosmos on her palms
Fates long written in the stars
Though far, she is near


Last but certainly not least, the muse, Urania
I'm honestly in awe of Urania and her powers...

Heart aglow with praise
Songs that heals the souls of all
Born, the rich harvest


This one is for the muse, Polyhymnia
I've always imagined that her hymns could move the sounds
of the earth, hence why her harvest is always bountiful.

Roses atop spun gold
Sea-green eyes so still with love
Songs are sparrow-sweet


This haiku is dedicated to the muse, Erato.
I feel such a kinship with her as she is the muse of lyrical poetry.
