a poem!

I've posted my poem 'Lilacs' - it expresses my feelings about being a woman poet. The works of Sappho, our great forerunner who was regarded as highly as Homer in antiquity, have been vandalised and destroyed, by time and by misogynistic forces, so we can only invoke her imaginatively. What survives of her work, however, is passionate and sensual, so I ask her to teach me how to nurture those aspects of my being and to write in her spirit.
