Eyeing a Myth

[Johntee]

Thanks RLW. These days, in the way of "earworms," I have unforced prompts in the form of words coming to mind that can only be got rid of by welding them into some form rhyme.

This is really beautiful...and inspired me to research the background story. Nicely captured!

The peacock,
In Hera's gift of
Argus eyes, resplendent
Clad has only voice for mournful
Cries and must recall the loss of cows
And a watchful life that carried no favour
For the beast employed in a Goddess's labour.
