Wisdom Goddess, Owl Queen

Smarter than we've ever seen

Sharp eyes, clever ears,

Quick fingers

My honor lingers.

How many things must I do to repay you?

You always know what to say, don't you?

For the wisest of warriors,

I drop my oars;

you don't favor the water.

I wish I was better at worshipping at your feet, because that is what you deserve.

*Note*: I put this poem on my alter to Athena, and it is evident that she appreciates it. This poem is mine, and written by me, so don't copy it.

I study anthropology, Hellenic polytheism, and home economics. I love to write about what I know, imagine, and learn. The stories I write are fiction or nonfiction. I love to read, practice archery, play the cello, and write.
