Tell Achilles when you see him
that we should all meet up
again at our favourite place
where we can have a few
and reminisce about to-day;
Tell Achilles that, will you?
when you see him later;
also tell him that I’ve
been wounded and that
those damn Trojans fought
like cornered rats and that
I got bitten by their spears;
Tell Achilles that, will you?
when you see him later,
much later perhaps;
And should you not see him
until to-morrow after the battle,
tell Achilles that
you spoke with me and
my message to him was
we should all meet up again;
Tell Achilles that will you?
Should you see him again
in this world.
Tell Achilles – will be published tomorrow at www.destinypoets.co.uk – Here's an exclusive preview.

An engaging, allusive,allegorical,monologue.Delightful!
Wonderful. Loved this modern day take on the Greek mythology.
it shows that power of man against all odds is born in a spirit of mortality and immortality…facing them with your mortal body and mind but with a soul seeking wisdom and guidance in spirit through prayers in Gods’ hand and in Gods way… just a deep thought from the poem…
Amazing thought very creative with modern questions from a classic figure
A gem from Louis. Magnificent.
