Morning Star

[milo]

I like the idea of a reimagining of the creation myth, of Yahweh being Jove and Michael being Lucifer. But I can’t understand Michael’s tale. The Olympians overthrew the Titans, so Jove wouldn’t need that story told. Unless this is a different universe, and the story worked out differently. At that point, this isn’t Jove. It’s all a little confusing and distracts from enjoying the lines.

Maybe the whole problem is Jove. A non Greek god, a Nigerian god, would do well.
I don’t think Jove-is-Allah packs that much of a punch.

I did dedicate a whole line in the poem explaining that Michael is definitely not lucifer so I am not sure this is coming through.  My intent was never a Jove is Allah so perhaps that is part of the problem
