Diamante Poem by Polyphemus
Odysseus and his men sail away, leaving the Cyclops in blindness and agony. Imagine that you are the Cyclops. After the fury of being blinded and losing your prisoners dies down, you find yourself thinking about the future and living without your powerful eye. Since Odysseus and his men escaped, the neighboring Cyclops have been ignoring you, and you feel totally alone. Your only hope is that Poseidon, your father, will do something to avenge Odysseus and his men. To find relief from your situation, you decided to write a diamond poem about your experience with Odysseus. You plan to give the poem to Poseidon, hoping that he will have sympathy for you.
