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.

Fingers tend to keys
Her hands precise with passion
Leave all souls enriched


This haiku is dedicated to the muse, Euterpe!
I hope I captured the magic of melody, music is truly a gift.
She is a true giver of delight.

Drumbeat spiced with joy
Chiffon hips ****** left and right
Ribbons charm the wind


Covering the Nine Greek Muses now, haha!
Starting with one of my favourite Muse, Terpsichore!
No words can express how much I love her, I swear, haha!

She who give what's due
Broken echos reach her ears
Pool entraps his gaze


Haiku dedicated to Nemesis, Goddess of Retribution.
Again, one of my favourite goddesses, haha!
I wish she had alot more love also, much like Iris.

Petal-soft wings stir
Warm zephyrs guide her to graves
Ascend by rainbows


Another woman of myth, the Goddess Iris!
I feel like she doesn't get enough love and admiration.
I absolutely adore this greek Goddess (and Irises happen to be one of my favourite flowers, haha)!

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...

Daughter of the moon
Ride swift winds with a taut bow
Fierce upon the hunt


This haiku is dedicated to Artemis, Goddess of the Moon.
Again, another Goddess whom I adore, haha!

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.

On Athens' chessboard
Olive tree bests spring water
Owl hoots victorious


This haiku is dedicated the Goddess, Athena.
Now I have a bit of a love hate relationship with her, some myths I find her awesome and some make me really dislike her.
But even so, now that Im older and reading more about her, I can say that Ive somewhat love hate relationship I have is fully balanced now.
I'm really enjoying this series, my list grows by the day!
Be back soon with more!

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!
