My Last Poem

While writing Bellerophon, I thought it might be my very last poem. I got a couple of verses in and it just sat there; no driving force to carry it through.

I didn't really think my poetry career was over. Not for good anyway. I'd been at this point before, only to find more ideas flowing from somewhere (God knows where, I should say). As it is I add Bellerophon to my Greek Mythology poems, which have recently hit the d.m.o.z. "open directory project", meaning they're all over the internet.

That might be reason enough to keep attacking my list of other ideas I got from reading Robert Graves' The Greek Myths, a thoroughly classic tome.

I got a couple of Greek myth quatrains, too, e.g., A Bronze Statue of Hercules and Selene Loves Endymion, for example.
