Orpheus In The Underworld Poem by Tom Billsborough
Orpheus In The Underworld
Do not look back.
Do not forget how
The ground glass of regret
Can choke the beauty of our music
As Orpheus ever lost
Eurydice at Hades' door
And the charmed heads
Of Cerberus awoke
To snarl once more
At the lost lovers.

As a high school student, I have been fascinated by the story of Orpheus and Eurydice.....! Being very sensitive, I was so sorry to read how Orpheus lost his Eurydice on looking back.... You have revived the memory of those mythological characters and remind us the lesson not to look back once we are at something! Succinct and profound!
Hi Valsa, May be we lose something of the present if we look back too often. Thanks for the comment
