ODE TO AN ATHENIAN: Hear Me Speak

ODE TO AN ATHENIAN:

Hear Me Speak

By: christine zapanta andes

 

If your knowledge can pick

These little secrets I keep

From then long ago

Still, until tomorrow.

 

I made a vow

To the rainbow you become,

Such sky

Of endless blue and white

 

sparkling starlight

between my fingers

as I reach to heaven

nay,

you not Apollo;

not the great wave

of the pacific;

or the last cry of the moon

 you,

are my Athenian.

I beautiful poem. It made me want to know more.
"you not Apollo;
not the great wave
of the pacific;
or the last cry of the moon
you,
are my Athenian."
A interesting poem. I wanted to know the who, why, when, where and how of the poem. Good to leave the reader pondering. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
