Adonis Poem by Will Barber

Adonis

Rating: 5.0


Where hope dwells, there the wolf
Nips at the heels of Arcadian
Legends. Send us dreams enough,
Minerva and Orion.

Adonis died upon the fall
From favor of Minerva;
He loved her not, and fell
The victim of her Furies.

Lord Jesu, grant
Us respite from
Legends, adamant.
A new day dawns.
