At the oracle by Paweł Markiewicz



God Alpheus was at the Pythia.

He needed a plethora of feelings.

She looked at the ancient amphora.

Eudemonia would be clear in dreams.

The oracle wanted to help yet them.

Pythia having drunk, told the pure true.

She told: The Naiad was on the isle.

she is spring - such a heaven, so blue.

Pythia wrote for Apollo poetry

about dreamiest mysterious from wind,

as well as of stolen Golden Fleece

about apollonianly soft mirth.

Long live an eternal oracle!

May poems be the most delicate!
