Colossus Of Rhodes Poem by Ima Ryma

Colossus Of Rhodes



I am Helios, god of sun,
Patron god of the island Rhodes.
When fierce take over siege was done,
Rhodians thanked me for bestoweds,
And built a Colossus statue
Of me made of metal and stone,
A very nice gesture that true,
Made me the tallest statue known.
Quite an impression I did make,
And for a few decades I stood,
But then was tumbled by earthquake,
Blame Zeus - was never up to good.

Told Rhodians, don't bother mend,
Another quake Zeus would just send.
