Ode to the Herculean Man

Screen Shot 2018-03-15 at 6.52.44 PM.jpg

Strength of Intellect
Overwhelming Charm
Invincible Façade

Empathy Empty

Silvered tones flow from a forked tongue
You’d tilt Atlas’ grip to fill you gilded cup

Herculean man
Demigod
I think not

Among us
~in you~
Demons Walk

Greek gods are certainly not divine but demigods with human failings who often betray sinister motives

So true. Thank you, John:)

Escéptico, ¿es semidiós o demonio? Umm Saludos amigo.

Human really. But also duplicitous and not with the good at all at heart. A case of imbalanced nurture with most.

Kind of scary @pyrdefoltz. I don't know... I guess I was scared into following you. No honestly, I want to see your poems in my feed to see things for a new point of view.

Nice to meet you again.

Thank you, Christopher. I am happy to follow you back. Not all of my poems are scary. Some of them are funny:) Check out today's if you have a moment:)

This is not scary... this is poetry Art 😊
In which I enjoyed 🦋

Thank you, May:)

Thank you, May:)

Striking word imagery and a pointed message seemingly writ for this past year.

Alas ... until we learn to recognize and stop making them for every generation and in plenty.

Great picture! I like it :)
