Liquid Feet

AMPHRODITE rules the sea

Her consort, Poseidon, thinks it's he

Encircling the sea with her blue liquid feet

She flows onto her seahorse to see who she'll meet.

I, on the shore, straddled a dolphin

Crashed through the breakers for frolic and laughin'

I giggled and grinned 'til off fell my feet

My ankles and calves to make it complete.

Where are my limbs? I can't stand anymore!

 Amphrodite answered– with thunderous roar

" I saw you enter my cobalt door

I've never even seen a girl before.

Just seals and dolphins–such a bore

The more I see you, the more I adore

I am the personification of the sea

And you're the splashing image of me."

She called me Rhode; poured me a treat

Cool foamy water replaced my feet

Now I float with my new found mother

And swim with my dolphin, for he is my brother.
