Dedicated to him,

son of Daedalus
created wings to escape
feathers attached by wax
Crete they left but didn't last

their wings they flashed
can say that actions were rash
for creation heat was too much
unlike labyrinth this one failed

sky was truly the limit
the applied wax melted
into the deep blue sea
they drowned

"Icarus," she cried

before the edit :

attached by wax
his wings he flashed
shouldn't be flashed
the heat was too much

his flight is too high
up in the sky
flying to the sun
was no fun

sky was the limit
the wax melted
his wings fell off
he drowned

"Icarus," she cried
