Swim captain is his title in the school
The pool is known as his second home
People always telling him, the fish can’t even out swim him
There once was a woman,
with skin like cream and features fair,
with eyes of emerald green;
with a robust body and fine gold hair.
One of the Greek Gods is how you may know him, he's the God of the Sea, at the top of the totem. Now that was long ago and far from current day, because if he were here right now he wouldn't want to stay.
Storms and rain race thy heart
Chasing typhoons day to day
Quickly Poseidon must depart

That I will die anyway
Reusable water bottles can only do so much

The Story of Medusa (at college)
By Brooklyn Fellner
I have one thing on my mind
Medusa
The most beautiful, sexy girl that has ever stepped foot on campus

As several girls stride across the sands, giving side glances at the stately figure, the winds pick up-
Poseidon sees opportunity in the sea.
Podeidon, king of the sea.
Realm of fish, crustacions, and cephalopods, but humans? Nah, not for thee.
I offer you lots of fish.
But, I have one simple wish.
Stop dumping your toxic waste.
Sarpedon couldn't get its head around
A woman who wanted to stand her ground
After a non-consensual encounter.
But Medusa didn't let it discount her
For sexuality isn't "corrected."
The mighty Earth Shaker with his fiery temper
Could never have imagined
How dearly the wondrous oceans would need a mender
The seven seas needed help more than he could ever have fathomed
In New York, above the empire state tower
Zeus lays in Olympus
Brooding; bored as ever
He looks down on the city
An idea forms in his mind
Rain clouds with intensity
pour down on mankind
It is fine workmanship, too be sure.See, there-- look how small the tiles are,How intricately they do capture the detailOf fair Poseidon's face.They call him Earth-Shaker, Rain-God, Cloud-Gatherer.
