Chariot of Helios                              

Crosswalk with Chaos                     

                           Gloam and Afterglow.

  Olympians in Aether                         

Titans overThrown                         

                                                              Foregone Beau.                         

                      Rhea on the high hills

 Cronus's homeless                           

                      Moonlight's a bourbon.

                                  Nyx's walkOver

                              Cytherea Follows

                        Lovers sleep apropos.

I like crosswalk with chaos, because of the way it sounds. I even decided to use the word crosswalk in one of my own poems because of this. There is a great beauty in this poem. Please, send me any read requests for new poems. I may not always leave a review, but I can always use a good read.

I was going to ask you that!
This poem uses only my favorites among Greek myths. So Chaos always is in the list.
If you're interested with cacophony, I would sure write a complete 'The Jabberwocky' for this site.
Glad you found it helpful.

I use cacophony often myself. I love hearing it from other poets. There are always great ways to improve by hearing something else said a different way.

I am not so familiar with ancient Greek mythology . So I cannot give on any feed back on meaning of your poem. But I enjoyed form those lines looks very precise and clear. I wonder how many editing you make here. At last line you use word apropos which at my native language is use like term , by the way . I wonder if is same here or is it different meaning. Anyway I hope for next poem I can give you more feed back. Have nice Friday .

[Summer boy]

Well... the next poem....that is something. Well, I made it everything in itself. But it's also using cultures at some places. (*apologies*)
But just give it a read. For feedbacks I'll upload another one.

Yes, it was quite an editing experience.
Apropos here meant "at an opportune time", and it also means "introducing a different topic." To convey what uranus and gaea would've expected from their children, and using greek myths to ask "does the creator wanted us this way?", rhea and cronus were lovers. And asking what if cronus wasn't this way?

This poem's about creation, and us. About metaphysical realities, and if the creator wanted us fighting with each other.

(I don't do explanations to my poems often, but this was the last)

What is your apropos btw?

[...]

Thanks for explanation. I think sometimes is better to keep some secrets undiscovered it's can make reader more to wonder. You know like David Lynch's movies for example. But thanks anyway. I think best way to explain how we use apropos if I show you in sentence so here is it.

Last week I saw two ladies and apropos they were so beautiful.

Only if we were to use all languages at one place!
That would be true chaos!

Composer John Cage once when he celebrated his birthday. Let play all his records sone people said it was quiet cacophony experience.

[Summer boy]

Well, another good thing we can get from that, when you're composing music, playing many records at once would make you get new and always brilliant melodies in a little time.
Same applies to poetry.

Or you can play just one same song at same times from billions of sound systems.

[Summer boy]

Nah, that is different. Nothing new comes out of that. All one would learn would be the same song (not even the same genre) but with better understanding of it.

In poetry, doing this is analyzing. It tells the poem, doesn't teach poetry.

[...]

I find listen to monotone soundscapes quiet liberating and mind opening. That's probably part of my Dyspraxia.

[Summer boy]

Yes they are, if made right.
