I’ve written this poem in the Ae Freislighe form with septasyllabic quatrains in which the first and third lines of each quatrain rhyme with trisyllabic words, and the second and fourth lines rhyme with bisyllabic words. The final word of the poem is the same as the first. This is the tragic story of Medusa, and a wider portrait of humankind, of which there are those who empathize. Ae Freislighe is an Irish form of poetry.
