I've memorized all the waves racing to the golden sand
I've memorized the seagulls being pushed by Poseidon's giant hand
and
I remember awakening on Odysseus's land
finding that Penelope has gone to hunt
the insistent suitors who now cry,as Muses once sang,
and I've memorized that too.

Thanks for sharing LYSIS - haunting poem and a trip into Greek Mythology' Poseidon (God if the Sea) Odysseus (King of Ithaca) and his beautiful (yet faithful) wife Penelope. Oh yes I remember it all so well ! Thanks for sharing and stirring (the grey matter !). Well structured poem. Yours BRIAN
I never thought to memorize waves
but of course
A good poem: yes, I have felt like that.
A great poem:yes, I have never felt like that.
Lysistrata writes great poems
