Lotus Minerva

She's a diamond sun of snow, envied by venus, lifting her peacock eyelashes to stargaze beyond pinkish petals of mild moonrise, enclosing rusts of rosy jealousy in ancient ruins like lotus Minerva.

I love how you have likened Minerva to the beauty and resilience of the lotus. Very nice Hiya. I'm taken by her "...peacock eyelashes..." :)

I resonated with this poem for some reason, and i cant help but admire so much of what you’ve conveyed here in such brilliant metaphors using symbolism too, creative and clever. I especially love the lines “ envied by venus” “ to stargaze beyond pinkish petals of mild moonrise, “ brilliant use of alliterations as well as adjectives. You have an artistic way of expressing which is unique! Congratulations on your well deserved win. You always know what i like! Thank you for sharing this

Someone did this is mythology but I took it as a flower. Is it personification then? So lovely

Dear Andrea, Minerva is actually the Goddess of wisdom and knowledge, it actually relates to mythology and yes, I added lotus here to personify the qualities, so it can be considered as personification as well as a metaphor :) Thank you so much for reading and for your kind words, I truly appreciate it ~ sending love & light!

Well you've really described someone beautiful. If I weren't married and committed to that relationship, I would have to seek her out and see if I could get a date! Funny how there are some planetary references used above. A very memorable piece!

Great Greek mythology. Minerva was upright and good.

Dear Hiya, my heart's imagination is elated by your soulful, ethereal and celestial imageries created by your golden poetic pen. "Peacock eyelashes" is breathtaking! To be "envied by Venus" is enrapturing! Your brilliant artistry is framed perfectly in the Fibonacci form. Lush and luscious poetry, my sweet friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

A beautiful poem that came alive when I could visualize the peacock eyelashes lifting to stargaze. Ancient ruins took me to a different world of ages past. This Fibonacci rocks.

Splendidly done, Hiya. Your prowess shines in brevity of this form. Loved your poem--the two ending lines, superbly crafted.

Interesting adjective 'lotus Minerva', How would anyone not be jealous of someone so divine.. Your theme is a great choice for this form and has nice imagery using words like 'pinkish petals of moonrise' and peacock eyelashes, I bet Ink will love this one.. Best of luck in the contest dear poetess..
