"Pegasus Villanelle"

The Pegasus flies into the night,
its majestic wings the color of gold.
The poets inspired by this sight.

An immortal offspring, purely white
from Greek mythology told.
The Pegasus flies into the night.

With eyes crystal blue and bright,
Poseidon's power was the mold.
The poets inspired by this sight.

Perseus freed it for the flight,
Medusa no longer had her hold.
The Pegasus flies into the night.

Bellephron saw it in the light,
with a gold bridle he was bold.
The poets inspired by this sight.

On Mount Olympus it reached the heights,
of its grace and beauty Zeus extolled.
The Pegasus flies into the night.
The poets inspired by this sight.


-Candice Kelley

I like this poem because it is pure fantasy and Greek mythology.
