An experiment in intelligence
The Achilles of the world
A target for arrows

Lotus Of Light Award
Awarded by: Poseidon’s MuseHome Of The Poetman Award
A Gift From Poseidon’s Muse
"You know you’re a great poet. You just like basking in a soft, feature-enhancing spotlight (as we all do). Unlike those people (some writers who love basking in the spotlight for Narcissistic reasons), you actually deserve to bask in a soft glow because your poetry has a delicate architecture that is best highlighted intimately…carefully…lovingly. Ever since starting this blog, you have truly honed and honoured your craft with dignity."
A Gift From...
This Award originates from Arte y pico
And came to me via A Poetic Justice, who said of my writing:
" 1Poet4Man is, in my humble opinion, one of the better hidden talents out there, and I don't just mean hidden in blogland. His writing reminds me of many of the voices that have come before, that are read more today than in their own time, a present day writer whose voice may well live on long after we are gone. Perhaps I give his ability too much credit, but, and again, in my humble opinion, I do not give it enough."

“An experiment in intelligence”
That’s my favorite line. This is an excellent poem. The images, the classical allusion, and the evocative phrases make it superior. Like all good poems it sort of echoes around and around in my mind.
Oh, and I forgot to mention what I take to be a Bible allusion. Did you mean to allude to the Bible?
Thank You Renaissanceguy
I very much appreciate your comment about this poem.
In answer to your question “Did you mean to allude to the Bible?” the answer is, no not consciously.
Peace
Poetman
