| Daedalus and Icarus
Joshua Hwang 12-04-2002
At first I thought it was god -
Hermes with his magic rod.
He was just the size of a toy,
Then I realized he was a boy.
Higher and higer! Up that boy flew.
He did not notice the heat that the sun spew.
Then oh! Out of the sky did he fall.
To his father did he call.
Into the sea did he plunge,
Sucking up the water like a sponge.
To the father, it must be tragic.
To me, it was just like magic. |
