My Greek Siren

My attempt at a villanelle.

My Greek siren sings to me

Haunting refrains to lure me in

The gods had warned me of devilish beauty

I've been fooled by a delicate harpy

With eyes like emerald green

My Greek siren sings to me

A sonnet, spell-binding harmony

The love of a centaur queen

The gods had warned me of devilish beauty

Adonis cannot compare to thee

A face Medusa can see herin

My Greek siren sings to me

Of a love that can rise above the sea

Strong and bold as a griffin

The gods had warned me of devilish beauty

To the hydra, I will flee

Hades can take my sin

My Greek siren sings to me

The gods had warned me of devilish beauty
