Infamous Hero
A somnolent trilogy of Greek hubris
Hero journeys into infernal abyss
Blinded by salty pride and avarice
Seeping into Poseidon's lair, nothing amiss
Swept along by steely reserve, prowess
Bounded by fate and drifting malice
Flooded by trials, providential interstice
Curdled by envy, lathering jaundice
Odysseus's rite of passage into briny bliss
Travails on high seas; champion listless
Brackish bilge, undulating fervour, blanching rigamortis
Beached by despair, marooned by injustice
Stranded by capricious swells and divine artifice
Quarantined by chilling fears; bleaching cowardice
