Come Home Odysseus

Penelope’s hands are tired
from weaving cunning webs.
Telemachus needs a father.
Faster, faster! Please Athena!
Talk to Poseidon and calm the sea.
Bring Odysseus home, to me.

Congratulations on an excellent write. I suspect Homer would be proud.

Loved your poem ~ would have loved to see 'to me' at the end for a closing rhyme.
