Like Penelope - POTD

I’ll wait for you, 
Like Penelope waited for Odysseus, 
In the long-lost there was a love she knew, 
One that your heart and mine are oblivious to. 

Her and I are waiting with great uncertainty, 
For a love that maybe will never come, 
Cause hers maybe died in the Trojan War, 
And mine definitely loved another. 

But when Penelope’s husband that she was 
Waiting and waiting and waiting for, will come, 
I’ll still wait for you, 
‘Till Ithaca becomes a city of ruin, 
‘Till I’ll become nothing but an old relic. 

I’ll wait ‘till you will be my ruination,
And ever after.

Ana, such agony…this poem captures the feeling of pure emotional torture - the longing, the uncertainty and the heartache of waiting for someone who may never return or love you the way you hope. This is so good!

Dear Ana, your poignant and potent poem brims with the longing and heartache of soulful romanticism. Great use of myth to amplify your emotions. The waiting.. the endless waiting.. the yearning and pain of it is palpable. Your finale is exceptional. Congratulations for your success in Mark's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Ana, “like Penelope waited for Odysseus,” your poem highlights how devotion can become both a virtue and a quiet form of “ruin.” I’ll still wait for you … I’ll wait ‘till you will be my ruination, And ever after.” Congratulations on your recent POTD and top 10 win on Mile 22 of my 2025 Poetry Marathon Contest. Keep your running shoes on, because Mile 23 has already started. Only 4 more miles to go before the Qualifiers’ Final Placement contest!

Dear Ana, Congrats on POTD, so soft, aching, and utterly human. There’s something devastating and beautiful in the way you braid myth with modern longing. It’s not just about waiting for love, but about what that waiting does to us, how it shapes and scars and sanctifies. A storm which I’m grateful to have stood in its rain. With admiration, Autumn Blessings, Ana, Daniel

This is heartbreaking. Endless waiting will tell upon one's patience, yet you are ready to wait. Congratulations Ana on your POTD honor.

Waiting is difficult sometimes, but worth it, if it's meant to be. Soft and tender are your thoughts. Congratulations Ana, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Love waits not for Death, nor for ideal birth, the moment love awakes it creates spirit that subdues all fates, love is changing you into something unpredictable, independant of imagination, real as riptides in the center of a rose sweating from anticipation of warm lips on petals of tender adoration...J.A.B.
