She hangs upon a golden thread,
A woven masterpiece
Above her rests her faithful web,
The reason for her peace
Her rival watches with bloodshot eyes,
A face drowning in horror
As the reason for her demise,
Was the sound of her own holler
The hanging woman breaths a sigh,
Sending frost into the air
She knows that this is her last night,
And sets her gaze upon her slayer

Well, originally this was a poem I had to do for creative writing class. The assingment was to 'imitate' another poem's form. .-. But, me being me, I was surfing the web and found a greek mythological story on Arachne and Athena. It inspired me to write this poem, and then the story I did for nanowrimo. (which I still haven't posted... ehehe ^.^") I love Greek Mythology and I highly recommend you reading the story on wikipedia or something ;D And well, totally off topic, but if you like greek mythology as well you should listen to a song called Daedalus by Thrice. It's based off the story of Daedalus and Icarus and it is just... beautiful. <3
