Response poem 1 - Sukh Mehak Kaur


Hairy fairy.


I love tails bloody and Gory.
No stranger to Medusa’s Story.
That women, she Deserves Glory.

A raped woman, no human category
Poseidon made her a quarry,
Athena, once laudatory
became accusatory,
admonitory!

To Athena’s dormitory
she was defamatory,
she was derogatory !

She never said Sorry
not for this discriminatory!
Build her Brand, on her Fury.
Turning men to stone, no aleatory.
She became the judge And jury
 She became predatory!

she was angry,
not incantatory!
it’s an allegory!

Many came to make her depilatory.
 Perseus, finally had the victory.
Power wrote the history.

Somewhere, in Shahid’s poetry,
Medusa finally becomes auditory.

Medusa, my hairy fairy;
rest in peace in purgatory.



A response to Aga Shahid Ali's "Medusa".
