All Hail! Aphrodite!


Rise up maiden, goddess of love
from the white foam of beauty’s sea
Smile upon all that enter here
sharing the gift of our poetry

For honor, fair Aphrodite
please accept these gifts of our love
The swan to represent your grace
and for peace, a snow-white dove

For patience we give unto thee
tortoise, slow and unpretentious
This poppy red to symbolize
imagination ever endless

With open arms we welcome you
and hope you may herein reside
we pledge to make you proud of us
with our affection, trust and pride

Well spoken, kind poetess. I shall pass along your message with a link. She will be honored to have heard such perfect thoughts and such a generously kind, warm welcome.

Worship only truth & peace like Zeus, my father, also known as Jupiter- respect his magic breastplate trimmed w/snakes, shaken by thunder

I see this could have dual meanings. Great write, either way.

For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me.
