No Comparison

I choose not to compare
Myself to this “god of the day”
Who folds and cowers
When comes the night
Escapes to illicit affairs
Shining one? au contraire!
Venture deep
Where mortals sleep
A goose is more faithful
To its young
No wonder Hera’s rage
If you will, I choose to praise
Yeshua, the ancient of days

Napowrimo “ Now for our last prompt of the year – optional, as always! Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem in which the speaker is identified with, or compared to, a character from myth or legend, as in Claire Scott’s poem “Scheherazade at the Doctor’s Office.”

AND THAT IS THAT!
