Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Sappho

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 on sexual taboos,

Sappho is known as the Tenth Muse.
