D�j� Vu

Entry for the picture this contest Based on 'Leda and the Swan' for those who appreciate Greek Mythology

 

Déjà vu

 

Idyllic this may seem

The swan will need to redeem

Majestic, statuesque bird

Everyone must have heard

 

The swan opening his wings

The girl experiencing divine swings

Strokes of feathers so soft

While being abducted into a heavenly loft

 

Little was she to know

How could she, how

The swan just being a disguise

Oh, all mighty he thought himself wise

 

A higher being

Risen above all seeing

The despot and the damsel

Soon the high and mighty fell

 

Nine months later

Not far from the Equator

The girl became a mother

What a bother

 

For who was the father

Never there was a larder

To feed the child out of wedlock

Born a half god, what a shock

 

God, the swan was Zeus ….
