Regret: Aphrodite
Regret: Aphrodite

"Regret!? And why should I regret my gift?
My love and beauty all desire - all!"
Then prettily the goddess puffed and sniffed,
"I'm seafoam-sired: immortal! Not a doll!

And yet you'd trap me with your chain and ball.
This marriage set by Zeus: a dusty joke:
and now you'd wrap me in your net? The gall!
The gall! The gall! I'm weary of your smoke,

the endless fumes of forge and iron and coke,
your wounded eyes that only wish to serve!
Then serve me now! My passions have awoke."

alone with my furious mem'ry.

Loathing the runnels that blind me,
my glasses befogged and near useless,

Hurriedly bargaining favours
I cannot commit but desire. Yes,
hoping the goddess of rainstorms

Long did I want and desire her
and long did she discard my love-words:
clumsy one moment then agile,
I loathe my fool tongue that has sent me

Why thank you kindly for saying so. The clarity of the ice over the moss & algae really magnified the texture - watching the waves of cold, cold, cold water wash it clean every few seconds was entrancing.

The light was odd that day, and when I saw the liquid crystal look of that wet rock under the waves, I simply had to try capture it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Yah. The light and that effect lasted only something like 15 minutes. I walked along the lakeside in a reverie, totally blissed for most of that time, before I suddenly realised I had to catch it before the light faded.
