However, when I started researching to write my sonnet I was quite excited to start writing! So here’s my sonnet! I am excited to get feedback on it. I feel pretty new at all of this, but you have to start somewhere right?
Sonnet 1
From a Father’s ached forehead I
sprang, formed.
Yet with Father beside, I couldn’t
fear;
For I his gift, shields and bolts I
adorned.
No strength did derive from a
mother dear.
I catch commonalities of the owl,
Endlessly perfect, snowy white, clever
Defending my nest against all
prowlers.
Patient, perching, and spiraling, I
ever
Soar, yet standing safe as an olive
tree.
Pure branches stretch from my
extremities,
Resilience in my roots. I can’t
foresee,
A loss able to swipe my entities.
Behold, I Athena,
Goddess of War,
Protect my home and live forever more!
So I picked to write about Greek Mythical Goddess Athena for many reasons…First of all I was unsure which myth to write about, and when I came across the Greek Gods my love for them was rekindled! I have always especially loved Athena. She is strong, compassionate and loves her family. She is also pure and confident; everything a woman could be!
It was a fun to research and write a little about her. Let me know what you think!
