The Rage Against Poseidon (RAGE TANKA)

We can't judge right away unless we know the backstory.

 

 

Her lips hex venom

Diabolic mind paints gore

Gives  horrific death

Crawling in the underworld

Rage is inexorable

Author's Note

I wrote this poem to give voice for Medusa one of the character in Greek mythology. I have this thought to give voice for her rage after Poseidon rape her and Athena turned her into a monster. I think she deserved a voice.

There is a based mythological aspect to this, (brought in though the title specifically, and then later on with use of "the underworld") that the captures imagination, and brings colour and visualisation to the fury and torment you portray. This said a lot, brought little - well done

[Ohhhwillow]

Someone has been watching Clash of The Titans haha!

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]

I just imagine how she will react after this tribulation thats why I wrote this to give light what Medusa's feeling lol :)

[oh,hey.]

Used to like Poseidon, don't know anymore... I think its interesting for people to know why the bad guy turned bad in the first place!

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]

Yes that's exactly the message we can't judge right away unless we know the backstory.

[oh,hey.]

Poseidon is one of the reason she turned bad, but he can still be classified as the good guy?

[oh,hey.]

+ nice description change, hahaha

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]

Yes because in greek mythology the class A gods is excempted lol for those sin :) see what happened instead Athena will help Medusa she turned her into a Monster which is half snake half human. But in she doesn't do anything wrong to Athena she is just Jealous Poseidon rape Medusa.

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]
