Greece Series: A Haiku Story

From the head of Zeus,
goddess Athena was born
for wisdom and war.

Hephaestus was there,
prudence was cut with an ax
the goddess was crowned

Athena's helmet,
spears, sandals, and aegis
for battles ready.

The dark evil eye
goes with the blue one away
in Hydra as well.

The wise jeweller
like an old owl gave me peace:
A present for me.

State of the art:
Antiquity dances with
this, my modernity.

Blue sky above,
Maritime landscaping
bars with long islands.

A Greek sequence,
a traveller's consequence
of all history.

Loveliness around,
nature and humanity,
are here intertwined.

They all touch their hearts
when grateful, with their right hand,
then, my eyes are bright.

Spring's poetry
arises from all death,
life is full of words.

The symbol of life,
and that of eternity
in silver bracelets.

Compliments for girls,
tsatsiki and hot pita
for all the others.

In the capital
Athena inspired me.
Oh! Thank you Goddess!
