               If my name were Aphrodite
                
               I'd send an aphrodisiac
                of sweet ambrosia.

                A song as tender as the
                Humming birds wing
                would sing out to you.
                
                A kiss as soft as the feathers
                flighting touch would sit
                upon your lips.
    
                And you would know love
                as only the gods command.
      
     Jo 2014

"Aphrodite?"

Just a name anyone might wear. In your poetry, you've discovered the spirit and imparted it it a most special and unique way.

That Miss Jo, is not something just anyone can do.

Astounding couplet. This whole poem is just outstanding.

This is wonderful, Jo. And you're always saying you're not a poet. I beg to differ.
