An AI Creation By The Author

This is just an idea inspired by interests that I have in common with my Muse, and presented as a villanelle.

As I was writing this it became clear that the most common religions today have no Goddesses, which says a lot I think.

If they have no place for a Goddess they have no place in my poem.

I chose The Streets song for the title though has a few minore connections to my poem, but it is very insistent, and I like it.

Do The Gods Turn The Pages Of Time?

Revealing What's To Come In Our Lives

To Say What Happens, Their Bells Will Chime

πŸ¦‰βŒ›β™ŽπŸ’œβ™‰βŒ›πŸ¦‰

Odin Opens The Book, What'll He Find?

Freyja Sees The Page, She Casts Her Eye

Do The Gods Turn The Pages Of Time?

On Olympus Zeus Can See A Sign

Hera Holds Him Back, A Goddess Wise

To Say What Happens, Their Bells Will Chime

Wóȟpe Spreading Peace With Words She Finds

Her Father Wi, Is A Caring Guide

Do The Gods Turn The Pages Of Time?

Áine, Summer Sun, Celtic Wether Fine

Grian, Her Sister, O'er White Fields Shines

To Say What Happens, Their Bells Will Chime

Up In Heaven Gods Weave Their Designs

So Many Threads Of Darkness And Light

Do The Gods Turn The Pages Of Time?

To Say What Happens, Their Bells Will Chime

    I really enjoyed how you incorporated deities from different mythologies here, and the poem has such a nice flow to it. This is well done!
