Medusa by Lousie Bogan

"Medusa" by Lousie Bogan, immediately I thought about a face filled with  venomous snakes as hair, which I remembered in Greek mythology. This poems relates to Medusa because the poet is looking at her poetic power to make people become still. She uses metaphors like Medusa and the land she turns to stone and lifeless but still is able to grow grass for hay. Each stanza seems to describe what is happening,  and the power of what Medusa can do. Also, it makes picture how her hair looks like with "And the hissing hair", which is living venomous snakes. I enjoyed reading this poem because it always interesting reading something relating to Greek mythology and I recommend anyone that does too , to read it.
