The Gremlin Kills Icarus
For Poppy’s Prompts #13 - Greek Mythology Edition
Introduction
This is for Poppy’s Prompts #13 - Greek Mythology Edition which you can read about here:
Icarus brought to mind "The Song Of The Gremlin" by Bob Calvert, so I take the premise of the opening lines of that song for this pantoum.
