what they represent to me...

What they represent to me...

 

When I see a dove fly by,

I know Aphrodite is telling me,

your the one.

 

Everyday when I watch the sun rrise,

I'm watching Apollo's chariot fly,

His wild, flaming horses,

dancing between the stars.

 

Everytime a war rages on,

I know that Ares is involved.

Fighting for the side in which he believes in.

 

Everytime a person sees a deer,

there is a reason they stop in there track,

The young maiden huntress

Artemis is protecting it by causing you,

to see the beauty of the stag.

 

I gain knowledge from the grey-eyed goddess.

Everytime an owl flies by,

I know Athena is watching,

As the reason there eyes are large,

and can rotate 360 degrees.

 

As the wheat grows,

As the farmer prays to Demeter,

An ear of corn will grow in her name.

 

As people walk around drunk,

Wild for another drink,

Dionysus stops them,

for he knows when enough is enough.

 

The darkness,

The death,

lingers on a god,

gone by the name Hades,

for people of the underworld honor him,

while the ones on Earth fear him.

 

When you find a locket,

As beautiful as a Narcissus,

You know it has been made by Hephaestus,

Though it was dropped from his forge,

in the heavens.

 

When jealousy rises,

When problems happen in marriage,

Hera has lost faith in you.

She causes the women to lose hope,

and the husband to lose faith.

 

As fast as the winds,

A thief at two days old,

young forever, the winged god,

Hermes.

 

The hearth herself,

Though giving up huge roles,

to keep the peace,

Deserves to be in this piece,

The goddess Hestia.

 

The shaker of earth,

The bringer of tidal waves,

The creater of horses,

The protector of sailors,

The dreaded Poseidon.

 

The King of kings,

The bringer of storms,

The one who nobody must anger,

The one who's aim will kill,

The king Zeus.

"I know Aphrodite is telling me,

your the one."

"your" should be "you're..."


each "everytime" should be two words...


"I know that Ares is involved." the period should be a comma...


"there is a reason they stop in there track,"
"in THERE track" should be "in THEIR track"...(same with "As the reason THERE eyes are large,")


"The darkness,

The death,

lingers on a god,

gone by the name Hades,

for people of the underworld honor him,

while the ones on Earth fear him."
each new line should be capitalized...


"Though it was dropped from his forge,"
"though" might be better as "as" (though thats entirely up to you)


I really am sorry to be a grammar nazi...especially cuz i can be hypocritical at times...
