The Daily Haiku

A world of five - seven - five. At one time daily, now kind of sporadic.

Current theme: B is for Bastet (Egyptian Mythology)

For ABC Wednesday

Egyptian Goddess
Protectorate of Pharoahs
Cat-headed woman

The Sun her domain
Bastet guards the solar god Ra
Fierce in her battles

But all power wanes
Unification creates change
Bastet is replaced

Sekhmet gains power
Her influence far reaching
New goddess arises

There is a Goddess ...
In the Doorway - song by Mick.
Bastet not in it.

I remember seeing statues of Bastet and thinking she was rather cosy looking. Apparently, I was wrong!
