Venus of the East

She hails from where the sun rises 
A child of northern town 
No one thought that her prowess 
Would one day bear the crown 

The most beautiful creature 
On the face of the earth 
Beauty ever golden and pure 
That melts a cold heart

All the goddesses rejoiced 
Singing glorious praises 
For Venus ruled from the east 
With her charm and prowess 

Sage from the rising sun 
Lend to me your wisdom 
So I could comprehend 
Her with and her legend 

Oh! Mighty Apollo 
Lend to me your poetry 
So I could exalt you 
And honor her beauty 

His might conquered the moon 
Then the birds played the tune
Her charm conquered the universe 
And all eyes praised the east 

Oh! Great days of sixty nine 
In the tower of reigns
The sun was shining so divine 
On the fields of grains

But written earlier as part of my bound unpublished collection of poems entitled "Pandemicity", that I wrote from February to May 2021 in the height of the pandemic. 

A tribute to the first miss universe of my country.
