Renga With Gordon

Renga With Richard - Poem by GORDON GILHULY the blue of twilight like a soft unspoken hope: the singed moon waiting lucid dreams now revealing the mysteries of one's life we are the Moirai: singing souls of the journey's eternal circle we are the mystical three spinning mother thread of life no one may alter the destinies we ordain - not even the gods Zeus our god and leader Like man must submit to us I, Clotho, sing all things that are, spin the thread of life that marks your days I, Lachesis, ration life I, Atropos, Shadow Death hear us, mortals, sing in terrible unison, of your destiny I, Lachesis, belt out past I, Clotho intone present now the end days draw near: the gods amuse themselves with death, fire and rain the mortals' days are numbered Planet Earth in turmoil your children fed to the guns of madmen - caissons stand at the school door ready for Armageddon Jesus and Satan at war GORDON GILHULY Form:Renga Poems by GORDON GILHULY: 49 / 82 « prev. poem next poem » Poet's Notes about The Poem This is a co-operative renga written with Richard W.
