docoflove1974 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hmmm...I'll have to think about this one...and I'm kinda busy right now. I'll come back tonight and work on it, or perhaps tomorrow afternoon. In the meantime, if someone else has one they're dying to get off their chests, so be it!

Ursus Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I wasn't invited? Oh, the rub. Night's child slighted, o'er this snub! Into the fray an apple thrown Golden and round and chaos sown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephele Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I wasn't invited? Oh, the rub.Night's child slighted, o'er this snub! Into the fray an apple thrown Golden and round and chaos sown. Ooo, you picked a favorite of mine! You are Eris, goddess of discord, who messed up a wedding by tossing a golden apple into the mix inscribed with the words "for the fairest." And, of course, the goddesses each thought that apple belonged to them. Eris is delightfully wicked. (Great riddle, Ursus!) -- Nephele (I waive my turn, for Doc.)

Caesar CXXXVII Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Can we play the opposite ? eee...eee.. Hercules !!!! I don't follow you. Opposite of what? Just my nonsense...I give a god, goddess, hero, nymph, etc and you give me a rhyming couplet... Don't take me too seriouslly on that...it is because English is not my language and I can't play .

Caesar, please don't feel left out because you can't rhyme in English. You (and any of our other non-English members) are welcome to contribute a mythterie in non-rhyming verse, too. Just be creative -- and crafty! -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docoflove1974 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) Or do what others have done...copy it from an existing source (and cite the source)! (Note, Caesar, that most of my 'poetry' is not very good, doesn't rhyme well, and definitely is out of meter.) So, my current entry...it's the response to a happening in Ovid. Who am I?: Iris came a'callin' a'knockin' on Dad's door splendid in her colors, messenger at her core. A note she brings from Juno Visions we are to send, Poor Alcyone, she will know of her Ceyx and his end. I take the shape of him All pale and broken down As she wept, on a whim Off I skip out of town!
