HARK THE HARPY...!!
Cackling winds disturb the night
Piercing the heavens
As her wings take flight
Clouds overshadow
A star-studded sky
Encasing the tears
Of the Harpy's cry.
Full of scorn...
Hark the herald's horn...
She shrieks!!....
As she seeks...
For her stolen new born.
Vengeance agreed
Assured to succeed
Cursing thy thieves
For their asinine deed.
They shall bleed...!!
A stillness then softens
The ravenous skies
For now she can sense
Her infant close by...
Then her talons protrude
As she hovers... up high
The Harpy then swoops....
There's no where to hide!!
Caught by surprise
The victims demise
As one swift claw
Then rips out the eyes
Of the thief who stole
Her baby...Her prize!
There's no time for his lies
Nor to hear compromise
Fleeting...she flies....
S...l...o...w...l...y........He dies....

Loved it. Such a poem has education value too. This piece would be helpful, for students not only learn what a Harpy is, but to remember it as well.
