I'm a thief! Blame it on Read Write Poem.

Here is my poem in response to Prompt #109 for Read Write Poem. The words "stolen" to make this poem possible are in bold.

Mythological

I took the brunt of the weight
Shouldered the burden
Throwing stones at the elite

Watching them shatter like promises
Drawing back simple
No question for authority

Hercules couldn’t have made
A better attempt

I, always the enthusiast
Treaded water and froth thigh-high
With a fertile mind

And half-expected you to notice
Sundered by tragedy
On a quest for the unknown
