Poetic Form: Verse/Heptastich

Inspired: 2024 July 24

Poetic Form: Heptastich I am Aphrodite... yielded from sea lather and reached the shores of Cyprus on a scallop's shell, symbol of womanhood and birth I am Aphrodite... Homer sourced me as a girl by Zeus and sea nymph, Dione, and aphrodisiac had influenced my name I am Aphrodite... a cause and effect for incessant eyes aroused crusade facing our guarded Mount Olympus high above I am Aphrodite... unceasing prayers heard by mere boldness and a taste test from each sweeten apple will direct me to you I am Aphrodite... petitions in the air float endlessly, plucked graciously by ivory doves to be delivered to me I am Aphrodite... where I will recognize you daily upon your first glance into some looking-glass beholding my essence I am Aphrodite... Olympian goddess of love, beauty, procreation also, satisfaction, your every need answered.

Great research on this fictitious goddess. Always popular in poetic circles.

I kicked it up from my storaged poems as somebody on the internet in Greece made a musical video singing my poem--in Greek, I attached the link in my poem notes, hope you can see the video and the beautiful girls voice singing my poem--in Greek.

Can she fetch me another cuppa joe? That's my need at the moment. And thanks in advance for passing on my request. Aloha

Got the video linked, i.e., if you've not heard it yet--this rounds on me.
