Non-Erotic Poetryachilles
in the morning breeze
achilles shouted
i'll catch you
and light on his feet
in the blink of an eye
approached the cheetah
the cheetah smirked at achilles
morphed into a horse
and went away
not too far
it was noon by now
achilles shouted
i'll catch you
and soon crowded the horse
the horse smirked at achilles
morphed into a cow
and went away
not too far
it was hot afternoon by now
achilles shouted
i'll catch you
and soon reached the cow
the cow mooed at achilles
morphed into a turtle
and went away
not too far
the sun was setting
achilles shouted
i'll catch you
and soon approached the turtle
the turtle smirked at achilles
morphed into a snail
and went away
not too far
it was late in the night by now
achilles sighed
i am making progress
years from now
one day i may catch you

The One That Got Away
I can understand Achilles frustration of chasing after a shapeshifting animal. They are surprisingly fast no matter what shape they are in.
