Linking to: D’verse Poets Modern Mythologies
My sons carved these pumpkins, which they dubbed
“Titan the Spartan” and “Halwarg, the Great Wolf”
(a triolet)
A Spartan helmet’s bravely plumed and always sharp his blade;
his courage in the face of death lives on in legends bold.
To track and kill a savage wolf would prove the man is made!
A Spartan helmet’s bravely plumed and always sharp his blade.
Thermopylae, where Persian wolves prevailed on Greeks betrayed;
in mountain pass spilled Spartan blood, war’s wind was howling cold.
A Spartan helmet’s bravely plumed and always sharp his blade,
his courage in the face of death lives on in legends bold!
