A ballad truly hypnotic,

Or an avaricious prospect, utterly fanatic.

A song of forfeiture, never relinquishing,

Perhaps an aural fragment could be worth treasuring?

Akin to anchoring a lyre with thy string,

A prerogative bow only thou shall string.

A grail though so consequential yet so significant,

Thou defy the deity, skirmish a holy infant, and yet seek thy kingdom, Ithaca, the radiant.

I'm a 14 year old poet and have been writing for 2 years now. I recently penned down this poem after reading some of The Odyssey by Homer, and watching the movie adaptation by Christopher Nolan.

This is also one of the poems I submitted for The Foyle Young Poets Of The Year award.

Kindly rate my poem /10 and also help me improve.

Also how are my chances at winning!?

Looking forward to reading what you all have to say :)
