Commentary:





In this poem, I experimented with meter. As you would notice, there are 5 beats in each line. This poem I wrote is supposed to be an allusion to the Odyssey. The character I am alluding is Poseidon. I was comparing power to power. Specifically, Poseidon to the sun. The shift in this poem is how Poseidon’s royalty is greatly approved in his domain, but as a more powerful and essential source on earth, the sun overpowers Poseidon. The literary device I used the most in this poem was metaphor. I was comparing a human to an object. But I talked about the sun as if it were a person that is more powerful than Poseidon.
