Wedding bells in Thebes
Jewelled treasure about slim throats
Strife passed down bloodlines


900 poems! Oh my lord, I actually hit 900! Whoa! I've got something really special planned for later, haha! A nice concrete poem is in the works!
Before I hit the hay, I wanted to share another haiku dedicated to the goddess, Harmonia!
I too feel like she doesn't get enough.
And I can't help but feel bad for her.
Granted, she is the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares, but she is an innocent.
I know she relatively has a happy ending (in the variant myth I'm aware of), but she and her line didn't deserve such misfortune...

Ride swift winds with a taut bow

Proud peacock veneer
Under all her scarlet rage
Golden shackled pain


Another day, another woman of myth!
Today's is focused on none other than Hera.
I won't lie, when I first read about her, I really disliked her but as I read more, I couldn't help but feel somewhat sympathetic for her.
Don't get me wrong, I still do dislike her but under all the pride is a woman feeling shame for she too was exploited...
She's in alot of pain, I understand and I will always empathise with that fact.

Daughter of harvest
Warm spring hands beckons death's breath
Arils strokes her lips


Another day, another woman of myth poem!
This haiku is dedicated to Persephone, one of my all-time favourite greek goddesses.
I grew up with the variant of her being abducted...
I always did feel for her.
I'm really enjoying this series, my list grows by the day!
Be back soon with more!

Vengence on her brow
On her palm, crisp gold chaos
For the beautiful


Another woman of myth!
This haiku is dedicated to Eris, another favourite Greek goddess of mine.
How one action caused such great war...

She whose born to strength
Wet with love for Achilles
Her life paid for wind


Another woman of myth, Iphigenia.
Such a tragic figure of Greek myth, I grew up with the version of her being sacrificed by her father to appease Artemis, though I know there are other variants to the story.
So sad...
But I really am enjoying this series, I hope you all are too!
There's alot more to come!
Be back soon with more!
Much love,

Bird flies over hills
Wait for me around my mind
Grass grows without fear
Forgot to post this yesterday where I walked up a hill and took in the sights of man and nature both...
Worth it haha!
