Goddess of the fight

just something i made up before i went to work. Tell me if you Love or Hate it???

Spears, Knifes and Cannons 

When battle cries are plenty

Warriors prepare for war, 

For the battle ahead.

Kings prepare for the war at hand

They pray to Athena for a blessing.

Hoping that the sacrifice they make 

Grant them a victory in combat.

Going up against a worthy foe.

With weapons at their toes.

Running toward an uncertain fate.

Hoping just by chance they win.

Bloody bodies comes in masses. 

The death toll rises by the minute.

Yet, sprites are high between me and you.

So, what would Athena do?

As the battle goes on,

There is a light of mystical proportions.

Athena is here, Athena is here they shout.

Ready fight the enemies fighting about.

Clash, Clink, Crash and bang.

Is the only sounds you here.

Soon enough you see a white flag appear.

The traitors have fought their last fight.

So the troops later that night 

Thanked Athena with all their might

For now they can sleep at ease tonight.

The conquers have met their match.

Very creative outlook on Greek mythology. I'm sure way back in those times, this was true to the many warriors that fought in battle.

Nicely done,

The days of myth and legend. Men had reasons to fight. I like the use of Athena. I enjoyed this short tale of war and victory. Thank you for the excellent poem.

the fact you've written it before going to work makes me think your work must be very tough (if it makes you think about wars, warriors, ancient gods and godnesses). Beautiful poem ! I usually don't like this kind of topic (think i have studied them A LOT at school) but i definitely enjoyed your work :)

This would be good for someone who is learning about Greek mythology. You've done well.

[Aianarie (INACTIVE)]

I really like the Iliad/Aeneid/Odyssey feel to this poem. I loved all three of those books and your words take me once again into their world. Great job!
