Calypso  states in the poem "It's a lonely time ahead" which implies that she will be lonely in the future without anyone but herself.]]> 2018-08-29 15:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/smubangura/6rfk8zufy1fb/wish/276283433 Imagery https://padlet.com/smubangura/6rfk8zufy1fb/wish/276611060 During this poem, there are a lot of examples of imagery. For example, Calypso is describing what her island is like. "Thick and wild and hidden is the sweetness there that grows my hair it blows long as I sing into the wind. (Vega) This text forms images in people's mind about what Calypso's island looks like. ]]> 2018-08-30 14:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/smubangura/6rfk8zufy1fb/wish/276611060 Calypso https://padlet.com/smubangura/6rfk8zufy1fb/wish/276614219 My name is Calypso
And I have lived alone
I live on an island 
And I waken to the dawn
A long time ago
I watched him struggle with the sea
I knew that he was drowning
And I brought him into me
Now today
Come morning light
He sails away
After one last night
I let him go.
My name is Calypso
My garden overflows
Thick and wild and hidden
Is the sweetness there that grows
My hair it blows long
As I sing into the wind
My name is Calypso
And I have lived alone
I live on an island
I tell of nights
Where I could taste the salt on his skin
Salt of the waves
And of tears
And though he, pulled away
I kept him here for years
I let him go
My name is Calypso
I have let him go
In the dawn he sails away
To be gone forever more
And the waves will take him in again
But he'll know their ways now
I will stand upon the shore
With a clean heart
And my song in the wind
The sand will sting my feet
And the sky will burn
It's a lonely time ahead
I do not ask him to return
I let him go
I let him go

In the actual book, it tells us about how Calypso wasn't too happy that she had to let Odysseus go, but in the poem it is more in depth. The poem tells us specifically about how Calypso is feeling. Most of these emotions are portrayed through imagery.]]> 2018-08-30 15:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/smubangura/6rfk8zufy1fb/wish/276615215 Metaphor smubangura https://padlet.com/smubangura/6rfk8zufy1fb/wish/276616163 There isn't a good amount of metaphors for this poem the one I liked was, "Where I could taste the salt on his skin
Salt of the waves
And of tears" (Vega) The metaphor helps the reader to understand that she could taste the salt on his
which she uses as tears for Odysseus.

Calypso is feeling very lonely after Odysseus leaves. The whole poem is written in a sort of sad, missing way, and it tells us about how Calypso is really feeling. ]]> 2018-08-30 15:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/smubangura/6rfk8zufy1fb/wish/276617128 Assonance https://padlet.com/smubangura/6rfk8zufy1fb/wish/276630317 In this poem, there are several examples of assonance. For example, the text states "I kept him here for years" (Vega) Here and years sound the same, which is an example of assonance. This and many more examples of assonance in the poem helps it go together well. ]]> 2018-08-30 15:38:54 UTC https://padlet.com/smubangura/6rfk8zufy1fb/wish/276630317
