Sappho Poem by Ima Ryma

Sappho, The Poetess, wrote of
Celebrating feelings between
Women sharing the joy of love,
Erotically bound serene.
From Lesbo Island, her home, she
Savored taste of forbidden fruit,
Wrote of such in her poeting,
Sensational in her pursuit.
Both acclaimed and condemned, Sappho
Had mixed emotions on her fame.
At last to a cliff she did go,
Threw herself over, and death came.

Well versed in sexual taboos,
Sappho is known as the Tenth Muse.
