Searching For Adonis Poem by Barry Middleton
Searching For Adonis
Silly Cytherea
has gone to went
and silken seek out
heaven's sent
but not from
no intelligence
she missed him
in her negligence.
Silly Cytherea
is far from home
and wanders in
the streets of Rome
to find a soldier
on a throne
with laurels all
in bloom o're grown.
Silly Cytherea
came to town
to find her quest
was never sound,
she cried so hard
that she had found
that love's brief gift
the gods confound.

Though aquanted with the greek myths I do not find out the what the storrrry about.
Probably mostly because I have placed Cytherea and Adonis in Rome instead of Greece. I cast Cytherea as a silly schoolgirl with a crush on Adonis. But it is not meant to be. I wrote this in college when I had even less knowledge of Greek mythology than I do now. I do not consider this a serious poem but I never throw anything away. I have some even worse that this. LOL
