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.
