The Gremlin Kills Icarus
For Poppyโs Prompts #13 - Greek Mythology Edition
Introduction
This is for Poppyโs Prompts #13 - Greek Mythology Edition which you can read about here:
Icarus brought to mind "The Song Of The Gremlin" by Bob Calvert, so I take the premise of the opening lines of that song for this pantoum.

Thank you so much for entering this poem Mikey!
Gremlins are the cause of everything
Interesting combination of pantoum & Greek Mythology.
Oooo, such an excellent take on the prompt! Loved your poem!
Interesting poem you have here. Nothing like a little Greek mythology to start my day.
