Its April of 2017 and Day 01 of A to Z Challenge. I am doing Idiom a day and 8 line poem for the idiom.
Idiom: Achilles’ Heel
Meaning: a vulnerable spot or weakness, a small problem or weak point in someone who is otherwise perfect
Poem:
No obsession in love,
No folly in friendship,
No tiredness after work,
No dreams in life,
No aye, No nay,
No teeter-totter,
Is not Achilles’ heel,
But Achilles’ body.
Note: All the challenge prompts can be found HERE.
That’s an excellent theme Prakash, I actually didn’t know that was what Achilles heels meant. Thanks for that . I have a feeling I’m going to be learning a lot from yours. All the best.

And how Achilles’ heel became his weak point, is very similar to how Duryodhan had weak thighs! Myth tales are very similar ..

eh! Sorry. But i will happily put some thoughts. 🙂
If there is no obsession in love, … then all those lines that follow… It’s not a small weakness, It’s a major one! Like Major major one! That’s the take away! 🙂
