Icarus And Daedalus Poem by Aisha hussain

Icarus And Daedalus

Rating: 5.0


2000 years ago,
on the island of Crete,
was a Minotaur,
who plagued the streets,

meat, meat, meat,
was all he could eat,
no one could beat the big bad beast,

flying high,
wings made with wax,
they made a great escape,
with feathers on their backs,

not listening to his dad,
he flew too close to the sun,
falling to his death,
Icarus was done.
