Poem Artwork

clouds rain down silver
in March skies Artemis cries
in view of her watchful eye
child birth through and shall hence be
Isis
"she got skin like Sable"
spanish moss split and jasmine spilled through
early morning birds sing
not yet spring but you can hear them
Aphrodite covered over her skin
and soaked herself down and within
Gaia she sculpted and rubbed her heart
while Kali lined it inside and out
"she got skin like Sable"
Hera, Amaterasu, Brigid file inside of her mind
so her wisdom be divine
The Muses laughed sneaky little them left things inside
roses red fell onto wood floors and open
"breathe....deeply, you are almost there
Athena planted her spine in personally"
Hathor roamed freely in her chest
"she got skin like Sable"
Inanna was so full she filled her feet and calves and shoulder blades too
she eased into her heart and mind and filled her pinky fingers too
Paivatar put vales in all organs and started her flow
The Maenads joined Pomona to help monitor the show
"ha and they say it can't be done!"
Imagine women
working together all bring their glory with them
Black as the darkest part of the sea
White as the purest cremes
Red as the hottest core
Yellow as the brightest sea shore
Ow the breezes whips up the sweetest scene
and the Goddesses do their thing
Kuan-Yin guides her steps, her words and each and everything she touch
Remember she is born through thus is Isis “and she got skin like Sable”
Oshun nestled in her womb shines up and through
Plastered onto all she do
Saule & Saulse Meita gives her the jewel that pushes her forth
Life source
Yamaya gives her the jewel that pushes her forth
Life source
“she got skin like Sable”
and the glory be
swept in songs they sing
and the glory be
twisted into themes
and I got skin like Sable

*now you know





please excuse had to drop quick

I like the way you take the reader through the historical list of mythological charachters and illuminate their individual qualities. Nice flow and the introduction with repeated line works nicely. Well done!

A fine quilt truly pieced together with triangles of myth, lines of history, and circles of divine wisdom divinely inherited. "Who Do I Think You Are?" I think you be one baaaad-ass poet.

Indeed now I know, a lot of work has gone into this write. Reminds me

Oh, this is gorgeous! But, more than simply gorgeous, it is a truly masterful "innervision" of yourself, which you share - the goddess within the woman, the woman that "got skin like sable" behind and beyond the goddess. I love it!
