    I suppose Robert, this could be the actual aphodite or a very beautiful woman that you are comparing her to- but one thing is for sure..shes naked.

    I would have liked to see other words here like: Nude, unclothed, bare, Au Naturel, exposed, etc.

    It is always a treat to read your poetry Robert :)

      The Poem is based on the Legend/Lure of Aphrodite being born Naked, formed from the sea. If you "google" images of her as I did, to use as a cover photo to the book I'm working on, a lot of the Art/Paintings depict her Naked and htis was the inspiration for the poem. I use Naked all through the poem instead of varying the word usage, using other words and phases that thusly also mean Naked to emphasize the title.

    I like this piece. It has good word flow and overall it's easy to read. Good job ((5))

    I loved the use of a number of adjectives in this poem, well deserved for the Goddess of Love. This greek Olympian beauty has more beauty to her than one can define with the adjectives we can find in an ordinary dictionary. Wonderful personification.

    Great idea for a poem robert,
    What I would say is there seems to be a lot of commas, it breaks the flow up somewhat.

    ex line 1
    Rising, from the sea, Naked, a Vision, of Such Loveliness,

    how about

    Rising from the sea naked, a vision of such loveliness,

    (I dropped half the capitals as well)

    That aside, your passion for this is evident.
    You use some strong adjectives that really show how you truly marvel over her.

    regards.

    Wow, I saw her as I read the poem..a rare beauty as they are not made anymore.

    I agree with Darren on the comma's. I always wanted to tell you about it!

    Well done, though:)

    5/5 Ingrid

    Thought I best re-read it as you have edited it.

    It is very tight now, still exceptional descriptive narrative used, I know exactly what she looks like. It is almost a song now Robert

    great write
