Aphrodite, bliss, be thy name!!! (Quatern)

by Robert Gardiner   Mar 22, 2006


Aphrodite, bliss, be thy name!!!

Aphrodite, bliss, be thy name,
Splendid, is your beauty, divine,
Singing, in such a, sweet, refrain,
Captivating, this heart of mine.

Rapture Goddess, I do proclaim,
Aphrodite, bliss, be thy name,
Even, the Gods, are charmed, by you.
The Gods and men, both, you seduce.

Divine Goddess, you mesmerize.
Your beauty burns, an endless flame.
Aphrodite, bliss, be thy name,
With enchantment, magic, you stupefy.

By you, great pleasure is bestowed.
Grand, the beauty, by you, bellowed.
The word, lovely, you do, exclaim.
Aphrodite, bliss, be thy name...

    Excellent Quatern, Robert. You always manage to use words to suit your style. Your use of diction, and imagery, as well as of other literary resources never ceases to impress me. Well done mate!

    I liked this, I liked the words you chose and the upbeat feeling to it. Everything also flowed well, and the rhyming adds to this. I can never quite get this form of poetry and what i noticed in this was that although the line is repeated, each time it is written in a different way so it doesn't sound monotonous. Kudos to you :)
