Odysseus enters into Ithaca

[JTParreira]

Odysseus who walked in circles
in the sea and arrested the body
and its ears
to the mast of the ship
not gave its ears to the sirens
holding the helm under the waves
and with a bag of winds
in the swollen sails
to enters into Ithaca
where Penelope waits
for one life.

The problem in choosing topics that are true icons in world literature is that the odds are really low that a young poet can contribute something new to the topic.
This is especially relevant to your piece in that it has been already handled by poets from the original Homer through
Tennyson right on down to our present day, including the
Greek poet, C. Cavafy. Please click and read this version
of "Ithaca." (http://www.greecetravelblog.com/cavafy/cavafy-ithaca.asp)

Dear Aunt, I dont ask for criticism, I dont want praise too.
My poem is about Penelope, about the Penelope's wait.
