Myth ? Mythology ?

In days of Old … 

When Knights were Bold … 
Back in yesteryear - we are Told … 
None had armored suits of Gold ! 
 
Knights who were Bolden … 
Strode on Steeds quite Beholden … 
Slayed dreadful Dragons … 
With Lances - some quite Golden ! 
 
Medusa’s deadly stare … 
Turned many men into stone … 
And The Sirens wrecked their ships …
Leaving them stranded - All Alone ! 
 
Cyclopes - the Monsters …
With merely One Solitary Eye … 
Did engorge unwary men … 
Thus causing them to Die ! 
 
Greek History tells us they did Molt … 
Zeus’ Weapon -  a Thunderbolt ! 
Many enemies he did Dispense  … 
Slaying them by an electric Jolt ! 
 
Mythology - Both Greek and Roman … 
Tells us tales of many Mysteries … 
Outrageous god-like Histories … 
Of devious deities - quite Inhuman ! 
 
Sagas so Ancient …  Sagas so Old … 
Stories of Feats and Deeds so Bold .. 
Of gods and men just had to be Told … 
Some Pearls of Wisdom - none Gold ! 
 
Finito ! 
 
There you have it. 
 
An attempt to entertain a challenge from some cerebral Mime. 
A poor man’s passion to write something sublime. 
 
Whether it is Good … 
Whether it is Bad … 
I Pray it doth Not … 
Make Thee Mad !

 Reviews of "GOLD ?"

Reviewed on May 16, 2024
I am glad that you've got your muse back and writing rhyme again. This one is particularly popular because people are attracted to gold the way that moths are attracted to light. Why I continue to watch all of the Gold Rush spinoffs.

Greek Roman and biblical myths are the underpinning of Western civilization. I guess that's why we can seem to stop fighting one another. We are still ruled by mythical gods in our minds.

Now, Tom, I may be wrong, but, having three older brothers, I heard, "In days of old when knights were bold................" a bit......a lot differently!! I love it! Your words took me back!

Love ya!

Jane
