🌹APHRODITE 🐚

Born from the lacy foam of the sea
Is Aphrodite the goddess of love
She is the original beauty queen 
There is none lovelier on earth or above 

Legend has it that this goddess
Despite her many charms
Can sometimes become jealous and mean
Many men have come to harm

She loves making people fall in love
But to herself she is also kind
Her belt that is magical, spins love triangles 
A trickier goddess is hard to find

She started the famous Trojan war
Because of her spell on Helen of Troy
Paris did not have a chance against her
He was then just a love-sick boy 

Venus de Milo the famous statue
Was sculpted as a tribute
To this goddess, but as to why it is armless
No one really has a clue 

She has quite a few children
But her favourite by far is Eros 
Sometimes an angel, sometimes an imp
He is always wild and mischievous 

Filled with both beauty and brains
Aphrodite is graceful and stately
Roses and doves, spears and conchs
Make up the vibe of this powerful lady.
