Poseidon mighty god of sea,
Saloirs give their valiant pleas
Keep them safe on their voyage near,
Sacrafices made on your very austere.
Dolphins flock to his mighty trident,
His wrath a true and sure strident,
With a palace of coral and gems,
From temperment and strength anger stems.
A Gorgon woman, a mortal she be,
The only mortal in the Gorgon league,
A beautiful maiden with eyes of stone,
Medusa my dear, a monatonous drone.
Cursed by Athena from up above,
Long gorgeous locks, or lack there of.
Serpants vear from the scalp of this maiden,
A heavy heart with what she is laden.
Pregnant Medusa was soon beheaded,
Perseus’ wrath, deeply imbedded,
Posidons young within her,
Released by the sudden undeter.
From these two mighty beings,
A progeny of life springs,
Pegasus a wonderous creature,
Of stunning grace and impecable features.
Later in his life,
Arose incredible strife,
Imbibing from the well Pirene on the Acrocotinth,
Captured before he could even wince.
Using a gift from Athena the great,
Bellerophon captured the steed in berate,
The Corinthian hero used a golden bridle,
The horse felt nothing less than belittled.
The gods rewarded him for this,
Pegasus was now solely his.
In an attempt to mount the horse,
Bellerophon was bucked with great force.
Pegasus rose to the heavens above,
Like a large and graceful dove,
To become a concelation north of the ecliptic,
An amazing creature remembered always in this triptych.
