Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Narrative

Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

 

 

Aphrodite-W

The goddess of love, beauty and sexual rapture,
Born out of the churning and foaming of
Severed genitals thrown into the ocean
Her beauty irresistible, joyous and glamorous
Was a concern of worry to her father Zeus,
Who married her off to sooty Hephaestus.
She loved and was loved by gods and mortals.
Adonis being the most famous of all.

With her charms Aphrodite still lives on,
Father Zeus no more worried about her.
Gods have retired from the earth as they
Are no longer interested in earthly beauty.
Adonis is available for the asking,
Sex - still the only method of worship.

Andrea Dietrich July 30, 2010 at 12:53 PM Dr. Ram, I do not think you are so far off from ME in your evaluation of her! Yours was more informational than mine, but your last line is much the same as the topic of my whole poem. Nicely done. Best of luck in the contest. LUv,Andrea

Timothy Brumley May 14, 2010 at 3:40 AM Again, the current of thought runs deeper than your average poet. I loved mythology in school, and Homer was always my first love as a boy. However, the pagan gods were conquered and driven from my heart by the one true God. Even so, I still enjoy them in fun.
