Sweet owl bring to us
Minerva’s wisdom and word
from the depth of night
Butterly so bright
Colours of the souls rainbow
Promise of cocoon
Raven travel miles
cross Styx with the ferryman
leading souls to home
Eagle’s great wing span
and sharp eye encompass all!
Fly now to the core
Dragon dreaming deep
Scales of steel and fire rise
whiplashing the sky
Gargoyle poised above
cathedrals here in Rome’s heart
watch over this dawn

Six perfect allusions in a row! Each has strong metaphor creating its own backstory. I think this is very inventive and dramatically revealing. Very well done.
