Hades and Persephone

My own version of the Myth of Hades and Persephone Persephone was the daughter of Demeter, goddess of fruitfulness. Hades fell in love with her but Zeus knew Demeter would never agree to marry her daughter to the god of the underworld, but he did not want to offend his brother either so he did not answer either way. Hades though to himself that if Zeus had not forbidden the match he snatched her and took her back to the underworld with him. Demeter did not know what had happened to Persephone and neglected her duties while looking for her. The crops failed and people started to starve. Knowing his brother wanted Persephone, Zeus demanded whether he had kidnapped Persephone, Hades admitted he had. Zeus said as long as she had not eaten any food of the dead she could be returned to her mother. Persephone actually quite likes Hades' 'bad boy' image, and learning of Zeus' ruling ate some pomegranate seeds. Hades argued she had eaten underworld food so she should stay while Demeter argued

An alternative view The guide watched with amusement As he watched the blind men grope All around the elephant, Each one in the hope Of finding something familiar Something so all could tell The elephant was similar To something they knew well. They each approached the animal And grabbed the nearest part Each one exclaimed aloud And declared with all his heart What this wondrous beast was like Until, in his place Another man felt the beast And argued his own case. It's true the elephant was in part Like a wall, a fan, a tree, A spear, a snake, a swinging rope, But none of them would see That all were just as right as him

Back to blank

Back to Blank Life Begins, a blank page We fill it up as we age, Childhood’s scribbles to adult script, Biros remember when pens were felt-tipped. As the page fills with letters, So our mind is bound in fetters. Line after line, but at what cost? Too late we realise our freedom is lost, The paragraphs that cover the page Are also the bars that form our cage. - The Wise Fool

Atlantis by AmpyFM, literature

Literature

Atlantis

Atlantis A city lost beneath the waves, A forest, under seas People left in watery graves. Corals replace the trees. In the streets no children play, None walk along the the trails, Instead, there swims a manta ray Listening to the songs of whales. Now only lonely fishes lurk And the lines of lobsters creep Where once people used to work Past rooms where they used to sleep. Though empty windows dolphins go, On roofs are octopi, Surface folk never know The things that down here lie.

Robotwar

ROBOT WARS Plastic, metal, wood and glass, Watch the warriors as they pass. Deadly combat, short on laws, This, the time for robot wars Lawnmowers, wheelchairs, bolts and screws, Who will win and who will lose. Picks and axes, spikes and saws, Who can survive the Robot wars? Flames, grinders, flipper, spikes, If you're looking for safety, take a hike, If immobilised, after a hit You'll soon find yourself in the pit.

Judgment by Stephvanrijn, literature

Literature

Judgment

Capricious, erratic creatures, You observe the likeness of unknown features, Condemning, curving your mouth with disdain For the decorum of oneself shall obey your malicious reign. The abomination you painted in your narrow mind, Was no more than an eccentric brother yet to find Utter compliance you seek, Yet of vain dejection you only reek. The enmity that guides your every line Is but poison you gulped instead of light so divine. Depart from the ignorance that compels you, Underneath the deception lies all that is true.

Winter White Remembered

Munchkin had two speeds Waddle and zoom And her sweet little face Would brighten Any gloom She had beautiful eyes That looked black But were actually blue And a bee like tongue To kiss the nose on you Her own nose Like all of her Was tiny and wee Yet our love for her Outweighs The mightiest sea She had a cute Bunny like tail On her adorable butt And her whiskers would twitch And her cheeks she would fill With treats Like sunflower seeds and walnut She could run so fast She could climb And she thought she could fly She had a wonderful life It's just a shame That the beautiful die She was sweet She was smart She was brave Sometimes grumpy
