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.
