"Agares" (Demon #2)

King Agares (Agreas). The Second Demon from the 'Ars Goetia'.

                               "Agares" (Demon #2)

I am Agares the grand duke, ruling the eastern zones of hell/
I can make runaways come back, & make run those who stand still
I have the power to destroy dignities, both temporal and supernatural/
I teach languages and find pleasure, in teaching expressions of immoral
As I ride upon my crocodile, the spirit of a little old man/
The governor of 31 legions, I appear with a goshawk on my hand
My zodiac sign is Aries, and my tarot is that of the three wands/
From the order of virtue, I can make all the earth's spirits dance
My day is the element of fire, yet mild in appearance and pale/
But don't let my looks deceive you, as I am not feeble nor frail
I control powerful people in hell, who have their eyes upon your soul/
And that's all I'm willing to tell you, because my story musn't be told.

Hey, I think I know this one; he's disguising himself as my crabby next door neighbor!

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Damn, where the f do you live? ;)

[Michael Stevens]

[Ency Bearis]

Interesting poem with the of use Mythology and with significance to its content. Nice work.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Thank you very much, my friend :)

[Rogue]

Again, a good job. You give just enough information and refrain from overload. Your wording in the last line is a bit impish. :)

I see you talk about covering the Princes of Hell next..
Why not go all the way upstairs and cover these beings counterparts? You can't have one without the other, as you know. If readers are interested in one, they are generally interested in the other. There is good and bad in all of them. Be they "good" or "bad" by design. Just a thought..

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Thank you Rogue, it's always nice to receive great feedback from you on here :)
Yes, I'm definitely thinking of covering the Princes of Hell next, as well as part two of my serial killer collection over @ writerscafe.org/MrDunne. You've given me an idea there, I may well take my pen in that direction. Thank you :)

[Rob Santana]

Damn this is crazy stuff. I control powerful people in hell those are some sick words there,very interested in reading all your other writes.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Fascinating subject, isn't it. I only planned to write about the first Demon, but just like pringles, 1 pop & I couldn't stop ;) all seventy-two are some interesting characters. Thanks for the review Creeper.

[Rob Santana]

Hey thanks for sharing these with brother. Good looking out Dunne.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

No problem mate, I thought these might spark interest in you. I'm thinking of covering the princes of Hell next, what do you think Creeper?

[Rob Santana]

Oh yeah! With your style/skill I say go for it.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Wkd. Nice one mate.

[Revolutionary]

I think you should market this whole collection as an educational poetry book for teen boys.Ifind that more girls are interested in zodiac and tarot because it is sold to them as romantic.Your poems will capture the interest of teen boys and would be beneficial to them understanding their position to the stars.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Thank you for your input Revolutionary, definitely made me think. Do you know of any publishers, that may be interested in this type of poetry?

[Revolutionary]

I am clueless but trying to move my own work as well.Good luck

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Ok. Thank you, all the best with yours too :)
