Class Poem, An Ode to Ancient Greece by 5G

This week we have begun our new theme looking at Ancient Greece. We have been composing poetry inspired by the Greek gods. We were particularly inspired by the characters of Zeus and Hades and their respective domains. We hope you enjoy our poem!

An Ode to Ancient Greece

In Ancient Greece,
the marketplace bustles like a storm of starlings,
exhausted, fatigued and weary,
slaves heave heavy burdens.

In Ancient Greece,
Mount Olympus looms over Athens.
Gods peer down, proud and majestic,
golden stars standing guard. 

In Ancient Greece,
Heinous Hades rules with an iron fist,
the underworld, dark, grim and barren,
floating on rivers of lost souls.

In Ancient Greece,
Athletes and warriors train,
their tasks so herculean, many a soldier will fail,
heroic acts beyond their reach.
