Marilene Evans Poet Pleiades

Aphrodite

APHRODITE 

As the most beautiful 
Goddess, Aphrodite,
the ancient Greek Goddess
of love, beauty, passion
had powers: love, desire.
Her lover, Adonis
died in her loving arms.

Alexis Y. February 21, 2022 at 12:01 PM WoW! Marilene, This is a good entry for the contest theme. I am contemplating writing one about Adonis. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great day-Alexis Marilene Evans February 21, 2022 at 12:36 PM Thanks, Alexis. Yes, write one for him. Apparently one of Aphrodite's lovers turned into a bull and killed Adonis. How sad! Have a great day.
