Instructions:
Write a 10+ line poem about a myth you know. Remember, a "myth is a story that matters."
Include three literary devices. Rhyme and rhythm do not count toward your three, though you may use them in your poem.
Draw a picture to illustrate the poem, if you want.
An unlikely hero
shot an arrow from his
unskilled shepherd's hands
as interfering gods watched
a sharpened stone,
a piece of twig, some feathers,
pierced and destroyed
a son of a goddess
it haunts battle grounds
stained crimson from the unprotected
ankle, a weapon
so simple, yet so strategically aimed.

A loving child dressed in red
Filled a basket with food and love.
A sneaky wolf ran ahead
Gobbled Granny getting into her gown.
The girl arrived with pleasant surprise
"Granny, how big are your ears and your eyes!"
The wolf in sweet voice spoke lies like honey.
"But Granny - those teeth - oh my!"
A woodsman using his axe on trees
Heard a frightened girl scream.
With axe in hand, broke open the door
And split the wolf down the middle
Spilling Granny and Red right out on the floor.
