The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

This is my best efforts to write in the style of Sappho, based on my reading of her work. There are three sperate poems.

 

#1

 

I was struck by an

 

Arrow from Eros, now

I falter in my reason

Aphrodite deceives

 

me, so you catch me

in your beauty.

 

#2

 

We were as one

 

Dancing like Pan

wild within the

woods, where nothing

 

can take from us

a freedom found in

Artemis' sanctuary.

 

#3

 

They promised us

 

There would be music

to play from dusk to

day, but I only heard

 

silence ring in

my ears, as if in

the night time.
