Saturn’s hatred for the Birth of Venus
Acrostic based on my love for the paintings for the Birth of Venus
essence of dampening destruction in dewy
capsules of space, her veins of gravitons
lips bruised as a star starts to break
inside a black hole, black eye
punched by a white light of Seraphim Justice
Sated, Saturn returns in a dark corner, hating
Every single brushstroke of Venus’ Birth, strives to close her out in an angry expression, eclipse that makes Venus cry

Excellent acrostic Melissa! 😊👍
Beautiful piece, Melissa. Well done.
Innana and Isis channel their way to Greece as Storm-cloaked Aphrodite and the Romans rename her Venus! She remains, in all cases, an entity all her own, does she not, an interloper to the pantheon? Such is the divinity of love! Well-wrought!
Oooo, so profound and poignant! Loved your Acrostic, Merly!
Cherish the people around you because they make life worth living. Make the most of every day and live it to the fullest because we never know how much time we have left. I wish you good health, a bright future and a happy life. May you always be surrounded by love and support. 🙏🙏🙏
