I like this. It's well written, it uses interesting words,I like Icarus! He's cool as far as people who fall into the ocean and die go...

Oh-ho! Good question at the end. :D I like your wit when you write, it makes for an amusing and thought provoking piece. It also helps that you have such a way with words.
I enjoy reading your works, they are all very good.

That was... incredible. Lovely description and word choice. Greek mythology is facinating, and the tale of Icarus is so... overshadowed. I'm really glad that you wrote this, so I offer you my praise...^^

This is absolutely beautiful. I love it and to say this much (don't argue) this poem is flawless and I think I'm going to constantly re-read this *makes happy face* My favorite part is the ending with Perdix.

I just read about the story of Icarus today in English. weird how I found your poem the same day...
I really like it, though. Good job.

beautiful. really does the story justice.

I adore mythology, so naturally this poem is right up my alley. I do think it could be tweaked, but poetry really isn't my strong point, so I won't say anything. I love it. I will read more soon!

Hey, I would have reviewed sooner, but FP, as you may know, was revamping and everything. I am not too thrilled about the new look of the sight but whatever. On to the review:

Your rhyming is a bit forced in places, and your meter is off. Do not worry. My meter sucks worse than anything. Um, but I love the subject matter. Unique idea of going after the myth and and seeing what happens. I never thought of Daedalus having a troubled exile like that. I actually never liked him, but this poem gives a little humanity to him. And that is always a good thing. What else? Check out some of my other stuff. I think I will read some more of yours in the meantime. Ciao.

This sounds like a ballad to me. It's a wonderful poem and I really like the flow. A few of the lines are slightly off in rhythm because of some words being having one too many syllables. I like this because I know who Daedalus, Perdix and Icarus were. Some readers might not know. Maybe you can put some author's note in somewhere to explain that they're from Greek mythology.
