POSEIDON & ATHENA: WHB … Pen & Ink, 2019
ATHENA
She
Born of male
Warrior Goddess
Meant not to fail
Faced fear
Lord of the Sea
Her major prize
Attica’s key
Poseidon’s trident
Challenged by
Athena’s spear
The stakes so high
But olive tree
Of course
Beat salt spring
And horse
The prize
The city
The winner
No pity
Athens the realm
Athena’s gain
Poseidon’s loss
To him the pain
Athena and Poseidon vied for control of Athens and its surrounding territory, Attica. … Poseidon struck the rock with his trident and produced a salt spring or a horse.
Athena brought forth an olive tree from the ground by the touch of her spear and she was proclaimed the victor.

Great poem Roland. Mighty Poseidon didn’t fare so well that time.
Quoting you:
” But olive tree
Of course
Beat salt spring ”
There we have it. Excellent drawing by the way.
