Pegasus Winged horse
My poem • I am winged and a horse, • I wonder if I will get out. • I hear her die, and then I appear, • I see Medusa die, and I appear. • I want to venture, so I do. • I am winged and a horse. • I pretend to be apart of Zeus’ family, • But I am only carrying thunderbolts and • lightning for him,
( Continued ) • I touch the fountain to get a drink, but I am being taken by Bellerophon. • I worry that he will make me do evil, • I cry because ill never get back home. • I am winged and a horse. • I understand what was happening here. • I say nothing because I'm Pegasus. • I dream about a day when I’ll be free , • I try to live a normal life, but killing chimera just isn't right • I hope Zeus comes, which he does. • I'm winged and a horse.
