Rhyme's Word-Making Function Poem by Douglas Scotney

Polydactos
got not
Danae*,
the mother of
Perseus;

got petrified instead, on
Seriphos,
on eyeing the head of
Medusa
being held by the destroyer
Perseus,

who proceeded to
Argos,
where, in accord with portent,
he killed his grandfather,
Acresus;

accidentally, with a flat stone,
which, perhaps for the first time,
for the rhyme,
a poet called a discus.

Who knows,
to rhyme with a wonder,
one day we may see
an oracle an iracle be?

*some say
DAhna-E,
some say
DAH-nai-ay
