Hi Elaine.
I like the short lines and stanzas of this poem. It makes each thought seem important and full in itself. I didn't know Godzilla was teaching us to take better care of our planet. All I remember is he killed a lot of people and destroyed a lot of the land while doing do. I'll have to look into the meaning behind the movies.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a wonderful day.
Joan

    The most recent movies with one exception, show Godzilla as a good character. I have always been fascinated by Godzilla and King Kong. Thanks for reading and enjoying. Elaine

Yes, totally agree and you gave him a good free verse acknowledging him as the Lizard King. My daughter and I recently rewatched and enjoyed Godzilla. Nicely done,
Cheers

Yeah. Godzilla has always captured my heart, starting of Raymund Blurr black and white. Don't miss any Godzilla movie, thus far, I was a four year kid seeing that Black and white. A great shout.

I had to smile at your watching Godzilla movies after coming home, exhausted, from the nursing home where you work. I can see where writing poetry is therapy but Godzilla movies? Maybe comparisons to some grouchy old folks? :)
Looking at that picture, that would give me nightmares for sure.
Well, enjoy!

    Thank you for taking time to read. I do not fully understand why I am fond of Godzilla. Some of my patients would actually scare him away, hahaha! Have a good day!

I must admit that I've never seen a Godzilla movie. I thought he was the "bad guy". This poem does a good job of explaining who he is. If he were real, I'm sure he'd thank you for your respect!

This poem has a strong, mythic quality with its references to ancient figures and the natural world. The imagery of the sea rising and the titan wandering is evocative and sets a grand tone.

Haha, I love this! And the picture of Godzilla is so, kind of, cute! Someone for my birthday gave me a news article that said his bday is October 29th, 1954, my birthday! Great post!

Excellent free verse with a nice flow and composition. I like the imagery and presentation too.

Well done

I think they called Jim Morrison of The Doors fame, the Lizard King for some reason, but this is more likely to be Godzilla, well done Elaine this is a great little post my friend, just love it, who knows where inspiration comes from, well done, blessings Roy

Great job! Your portrayal of Godzilla as both a force of nature and a protector is fantastic. The imagery of the seas rising and the transformation from monster to lizard king really captures the grandeur of the Godzilla movies. What a fun poem!
