Perhaps this Goddess is a legendary Irish goddess who was said to represent the sun, fertility, and love. She was also said to possess the power to grant a bountiful harvest beauty.

Hi Gypsy, your poem has good imagery and sensory appeal. I could see the whole beach scene. Of special note:

the only witnesses
of your magestic beauty
the bending reeds and me
bowing with complete
surrender at your feet

(Ahh. What a feeling.)

Beautiful presentation. Well done. Xo. M

Just beautiful Gypsy! I have often written poetry from a man's POV so I understood what you were doing even before reading the author notes. Writing is much like acting... we take on the voice of someone else and "play a part" in a way. Sometimes we write in our own voice, but sometimes not. Your poem creates such beautiful imagery and a tender mood of love and admiration. I enjoyed it very much. MM

Like women, men have very different ideas, views, and needs, when trying to woo the opposite sex, pedestals are fine, though for me equality is better, your second stanza is inspiring if reaching for the stars, an excellent read as you will bring back many memories for the love struck man, very well done****kahpot

Very lovely pictures, that perfectly adapt to your poem. I really have to try to use the darker matting to see what it does. You use it to wonderful e effect.
The poetry sings. Karen

This was a lovely poem that showed how deeply one can fall in love. I loved the line about the only witnesses being the bending reeds and you. Both almost bowing in her presence. You nailed the male perspective. Great job. Gretchen

    Thank you, I try to put myself in a man's pov without using stereotyped ideas. It's a fun challenge.

    Thank you very much, Gretchen

I think this expresses the the nostalgia a man feels about a woman he loved or still does.
Seems like she is no longer in his life. As I feel sadness in the words.

What a lovely poem about the beautiful memory of a loved one lying on the beach. The narrator views her as royalty and deity because of how much he's attracted to her.
