Poems

I have a large weekly poem this week, based on Ulysses and Penelope - my favorite couple, and have been wondering if my memory plagiarized some of it. As a youth with nothing else to do to in my autistic state, I memorized some Homer and some Kazantzakis: their versions of the Odyssey in Greek. So every time I write about U. and P., I have to wonder whether I am regurgitating the Greats, whether Homer or Kazantzakis.

(Kazantzakis also wrote Zorba, the Greek and The Last Temptation of Christ and much else. Homer did an Iliad.)

If you read it, take me royally to task if you chance upon a copyright turn-of-phrase or trope!

(It'll probably go up by Wednesday.)
