🐦‍⬛APOLLO🏹

Unlucky in love is this god of the sun
But everything else he has aced
Music, poetry, art and healing
He can even spread a plague

He can look into the future
Sometimes that makes him sad
Other times he uses that knowledge
For good things and for bad

Also a bit of a troublemaker
Apollo lost his powers twice
But not for long, he can sweet-talk a storm
When he is being extra nice

He loves his mother Leto a lot
And has saved her life a few times
The first time was when he was four days old
He was a gifted child of light

Apollo is also the god of the muses
He inspires them in their art
Their poetry can bring tears to your eyes
As the words sit around your heart

This god of goodness also has his bad days
Then diseases spread fungus-like
Making Apollo lose his temper
Guarantees one a terrible life

Apollo, like his sister Artemis
Is brilliant at archery
The laurel, raven, the bow and arrow
Are symbols of his divinity.
