"Of A Man"
Hello!
This is my third posting of an Aeneid-inspired poem. This poem was actually the first one ever written, but it has been subject to much scrutiny and I think it's ready to be pushed out into the big scary world! *laughs*
“Of A Man”
I sing of arms and of a man
Whose fate entailed most bitter grief
For in his heart
Are gruesome wars
Whose Shade are destined not to sleep
I sing of faith and of a man
Whose belief in glory never wavers
For though he carries
Shouts of Dardan shepherds
His strong right hand never quavers
I sing of sadness and of a man
Whose legacy was fraught with violence
For though Aeneas took these arms
From Grecian victors
All he gave Italy was silence
