Cruel Circe,
Radiant goddess of magic.
Your beauty and your haunting song
lure the unsuspecting.
With touch of your wand
they are forever changed.
Cruel Circe,
I wish to know,
Why do you use
your power so?

Because she can I think Ida. Sometimes I wish she wouldn't though.

Very well expressed, dear Ida. Once a woman savors the power she will always want to use it and when she discovers what beauty can obtain all scruples disintegrate, sadly.

Hugs.

I have no clue the answer to your question, truthfully.  I am of a personal hope that all such acts transcend from wounds inside that have festered outlandishly...  Being that wounds can be healed, and thereby maybe inspiring a different outward behavior pattern.  Still there are always some that make you wonder if they were just that way from the onset.  Nice write, Ida.

you are more powerful
she is merely a tool of imagination

If somebody abuses his/her power, maybe he/she doesn't know what love is about.

Thank you for your comments. Actually there is a typo in this poem that is driving me crazy but I noticed it to late to fix it.
It should say... With a touch of her wand.

A bad seed encased in a body cast of beauty.
Very well done, Ida!

Hey, if it wasn't for Circe, Wonder Woman would not have had one of her Major adversaries, and that would have been quite a Loss to us, her readers!

Enjoyed the read, my friend, and the return to my comic book years...
