 Consider Icarus

Humility will always steer you right

Excessive pride is expensive

Even at the cost of life

Consider Icarus warned

Consider Icarus in excessive mode

Consider Icarus wings melted to death

Overwhelmed he flew too high

Overwhelmed he got too close to the sun

Consider Icarus warned

Consider Icarus in excessive mode

Humility will always steer you right

    Hi, Gillena! The story of Icarus makes us all think. The repetition is very effective here. 💙

    I like the way you used repetition to consider Icarus, Gillena, and I agree ‘excessive pride is expensive even at the cost of life’.
