Ulysses Asleep Comments

Hi Susan. I'm still having to use the comment section as my reply button isn't too well! Poor thing. There is a bit of Ulysses in me, a tendency to be dilatory, easily swayed from my need to write by the beauties of nature and, of course, the fair! I studied the Odyssey in Greek as a boy and this was one of my favourite stories. He spent ten years on Calypso's island beguiled by her. Lucky beggar!

You did not succeed in not writing verse- this poem is incredibly beautiful and intelligent. Your word choices further the feeling of seduction even when describing other elements- Restless - seek- the mythic isles- bloom- Arousals -shall I find Calypso there - Seducing with her tunes- Promisingeternal youth, - And days of leisure, nights- Of love below complicit stars.... In these word choices lies your poetic genius. 10+++++++++++++

I love the visuals within this one Tom, an excellent write ;)

Follow them both, and many others. : -)

My education cannot keep up with the flow of your poem but I can appreciate the spirit of it Your command of classic literature is impressive. stay with it lad A shame that PH crowds our lettering.

A fine write Tom. Nice to see you back. I gave All Poetry the flick. ++10 Robert
