3 in 1 Quatern...

This is a Quatern I wrote originally for a challenge I put together, "The Romantic Poetry Forms and Style Challenge". It was one of the entries to said challenge in the Quatern category. I wrote it originally about and concerning Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, but since whence I originally wrote it, I have revamped it twice -- changing it slightly to create a slightly different quatern, extolling different persons. I like to know what you think of the Quaterns as a whole and which quatern you find you have greater affinity, favor to. Take the time if you will and give me your opinion, critique. Each Quatern is a little different. The first is about Aphrodite, as I fore mentioned. The second was revamped for an Internet Goddess, Amanda, who appeared to be close to the Amanda I use to know and infact, might have been. I reworked my orginally poem and fit to her internet persona and email it to her, making indirect references to the Amanda I use to know. The third is to a sweetheart of a beautiful girl Christina, whom I find worthy of love, praise, admiration, and adoration right now. Let me know what you think of each and them as a whole and which one you like best!!!

(A Quatern: a sixteen line French form composed of four quatrains. It has a refrain that is in a different place in each quatrain. The first line of stanza one is the second line of stanza two, third line of stanza three, and fourth line of stanza four. A Quatern has eight syllables per line. It does not have to be iambic or follow a set rhyme scheme.)
