A Poem to the Roman goddess Venus



I wrote this poem. Venus, known as Aphrodite to the Greeks, was the Roman goddess of love. She is frequently mentioned in Medieval literature. 


Oh Venus, your hair is made of golden leaves

you are always in my daily dreams

your sight is always good and graceful

your presence is always calm and peaceful

the sunshine is but your shadow

compared to you, all else is shallow

dear goddess of love, you have enchanted me

from your powers, I do not desire to be free

  2. Very good. I especially like the lines : the sunshine is but your shadow and from your powers, I do not desire to be free. Sunshine, shadows, powers are all very strong words.

  6. Again...love the imagery and words of symbolism to show double meanings. Good work!
