He came in low,
White in a group of grays
And browns,
Trumpet whistling, clear
Between crude honking,
Travelers, from afar
Landing near.
*
Set wings, amend
Drop, glide-fall, refrain
Before they land they call
But the soy-field returns
No sight of danger,
And from corduroy skies
Pours, (mixed with pepper)
One...salt...grain.
*
Webs bending stubble, Zeus
With spread-wings, scolds;
Close behind his quarry.
But Leda ignores him,
Keeps plucking at the beans.
*
She feels the heat
Of swan-fowl eyes
Behind,
And tries hard to abate
But is frail,
And cannot escape
The false-Gods planned-
Intention,
Or his weight.
*
He mounts,
And the earth becomes a mold
That casts the likeness
Of goose-breast in its mud.
But the unions goal
Is set by nature to fail,
And her eggs remain
Barren,
Fallow in their portal,
Unblemished by Pollux
Or Castor or Helen:
Because laws set by nature
On mortals, this era,
Prevail.

WHAT is this doing 300 poems down with only two replies?? Buried by the holiday rush, I'm thinking.

Today's the day to bump poems with multiple dimensions!

Maybe it did get "buried in the rush", I don't know, I guess some things just get passed by, or perhaps there is not much intrest in myth and multiple dimensions? Thank you for bumping me up, maybe it will be read a couple more times, but I will be happy with the three replies, if that is all that comes...
Thank you for reading, and the comments...

(big hugggsssssss) Yay, another bump! ***Bump!*** (does happy dance) I have read "Leda And The Swan" and it is a story that so deeply touches my heart with fanciful imagery! God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ford, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
