Apollo and His Annoying Haikus

Apollo and His Annoying Haikus

“Dreams like a podcast,
Downloading truth in my ears.
They tell me cool stuff."

"Apollo?" I guess, because I figured nobody else could make a haiku that bad.
He put his finger to his lips. "I'm incognito. Call me Fred."
"A god named Fred?”

Isn’t it inspiring when a Greek god is in touch with his poetic side? Well, think again. Wait until you hear Apollo recite his haikus that are as bad as rotten tomatoes. I hope he can’t read this blog post. I don’t want to end up like Midas. Anyway, our steamy sun god right here is so hooked in poetry.

Apollo, also known as “Fred” in The Titan’s Curse is the Greek god of the sun, medicine, music, poetry, archery and whatnot. He is not just your typical god.  He is hot, not just because he is the sun god, but because of his looks and his style. He appears as a good-looking teenage boy with alluring blue eyes and sandy hair, not to mention his blinding, dazzling smile that could melt the ice caps in Antarctica. He also owns an iPod and usually wears Ray Ban sunglasses. What makes him hotter is that he owns a sun chariot, which transforms into a red Maserati in the presence of mortals. This god is excels in everything, well, except in poetry, I guess.

In The Titan’s Curse, Zoe Nightshade tells that Apollo has been very obsessed with haikus since his last visit to Japan. There was even a time when he spent his time making Limericks after he’d been to Ireland. Being so self-absorbed and all, he even thinks he’s very great in poetry when in truth, he is very bad at it. His poetry sucks. Who would make a haiku about being so cool? Though he may be terrible, it seems that no one dares to tell him that. He’s very hot-tempered and you don’t want to see him turn mad. So if you want to tell him something, be very careful you might wake up having donkey ears.
