TWO POEMS

 

Dr. PANOS D. BARDIS

University of Toledo, Ohio

 

Modern Eve

 

Lovely, wise, and always smiling,

Youthful, sparkling, and beguiling ­

Never has a gem thus shone,

New the mind and new the beauty­– 

Eve, at last, has done her duty!

 

Julian’s Despair

 

Nine Muses danced and sang in joy

            On sylvan hills, in the moonlight.

No Muse survived the stellar dawn­–

            All dreams dissolve in this new light!
