Difficulty
by Jody PrattA challenge too large to face,
Mercury fends off the Sun,
with no sword or spear but
many craters as her shield. 11/28/2011 Posted on 11/28/2011

| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 11/29/11 at 02:47 PM this ode serves as a metaphor, if not a buffer for those things that Shakespeare describes as the multitude of shocks that the human body is heir to and these shocks do not exclude Planets or Messenger of the Gods or even Old Sol itself who ultimately must take his bitter pill like all the rest. |
