The+Adventures+of+Ulysses+in+Haiku

Ships and Men You have won the war But the battle isn't over 'Til your back again

Your ships are nearly Filled to the brim with spoils But they will cost you

The Lotus Eaters Morpheus prepares The men for Lotus Dreaming Good night Ulysses

Dreaming of homesteads Of your sweet Penelope Hoping to be home

Keeper of the Winds You meet Aeolus He gives you the winds to get Back to Ithaca

Your men were greedy They ruined your voyage to Get back to Ithaca

The Ciconians The Ciconians Will drive you out Ulysses Talk about bad luck

Poseidon was mad The Naiads wanted the jewels In the wind they blew

The Cyclops' Cave The Cyclops wants to eat you I would run away Sail away from there.

You made the Cyclops Very angry, Ulysses Not so smart, genious.

Cannibal Beach You climb a tree that Really wasn't what you thought You climbed a giant

You sliced at giants Who wished to eat you alive You cannot beat them

Circe A sorceress turns Your men to little piggies. She wants you to stay.

You say when you leave, "The Fates... cut the pattern of my days." Big moment.

The Land of the Dead

A river down hill An express-way to darkness Where ghosts lay in wait

The ghosts warn you of Hidden challenges waiting For you, Ulysses

Wandering Rocks

A constant clashing Shows that you are being chased By two giant stones

The rocks are keeping You from the southern isles Where your loved ones lie

The Sirens

Their singing draws you To your death on their island Guess who is singing?

You give the commands To let yourself free as a bird But no one listens

Scylla and Charybdis

Don't sail near the two One eats seven, the other Drinks up all the rest

Just as expected, You sail straight toward bad luck Guess who is thirsty?

The Cattle of the Sun

Your men grow hungry They want to eat the cattle Bad things will happen

As you try to leave Your ship is set aflame by Hyperion, wow.

You pass through Scylla Without dying, yet again. You enter a fog.

Calypso

Calypso is part Of the Titan family She shall keep you there

Yu hire a crow To check on your home stead Things aren't doing good

Hermes comes with a Decree that says Ulysses Must return to sea

Ino's Veil

Calypso gives you A very nice ship to sail You are homeward bound

Poseidons revenge Was foiled by Ino's veil It saved Ulysses

You try to get to A shore surrounded by rocks But get swept away

Nausicaa

A six-teen year old Falls in love with Ulysses He is so old now

They did not know that Ulysses was their guest Untill he left them

Nausicaa sings a Beautiful song, Ulysses She found your big heart

The Return

You find the swineherd And Telemachus as well Athene saved him

As you go off to Win another battle you Get the neatherd too

There is a brawl that Could mess up all their hard work Ulysses won it

He almost gets killed By fighting with the suitors He and his friends won.

The End

Aylssa, you are not going to get columns here without a lot of tricky formatting. At the beginning of each haiku like type 5 spaces, then start the line. (No spaces before titles.) Type one line at a time and then "enter." Put an extra space line between verses.

type five spaces first hit return then type five more return again before next verse

We can jazz it up once all the content is in. Good work! Keep going!!
