On the Sometimes Annoying Existence of Mythical Greek Entities in Our Culture


I call on you, oh faithful Nine

Of isle of myth of long ago.

Would you please bless these words of mine

So I can burst from head to tow

With rhymes? I think that they should be

Radiating then with glee!

And blessed by, especially,

Thalia, Muse of comedy.

And then, when all the blessings are done, 

I will sit and use my pate,

And write a poem because it's fun,

Until I'm interrupted by Fates!

The Greenhorn Parnassian

Hi! I'm a random high school student from Example, USA (which means that I'm not supposed to be giving out personal info to other random people on the internet). I like writing, reading, astronomy, biking, Ireland, Canada, the outdoors, and more! I wish I could snowboard, and live in the country, and have an adventure. And I wish I could see real wolves, moose, and other Northern animals. I like to experiment with different poetry types, and I especially like to write poems with unique rhythms and rhyme schemes. One of my favorite poems is "Errantry", by J. R. R. Tolkien. I hope you enjoy my poems, and critique them, please! Thanks!
