The Odssey--The Aftermath
I wrote a poem about my reactions to the Odyssey. I hope you enjoy it! :DI am sitting in here
In this ship
That rocks
Back and forth against the cool winds of Poseidon.
And I wonder about back home, in Ithaca
Where I long to be with my love, Penelope, and son, Telemachus.
And soon I will be with them.
But as I think
I regret
The things I have missed
For I have missed the days when Telemachus learned his first words.
I was never there
For his suffering
For Penelope's suffering.
And I can only think
How can I love them
If I am a stranger
Now in their eyes?
But all I can do
Is sit against the wall of the ship
As young Dawn touches her red fingers against the dark skies.
