Sappho's poetry is very emotional, and very heart-felt. When I read the stanzas, I could feel the passion emanating from the words. The phrases used are also very graphic and descriptive, and if you just exercise your imagination a little, you can almost envision the scenes that you are reading about. Aphrodite is mentioned several times, and Sappho appears to be praying/talking to the goddess. One thing though, it was a bit difficult to grasp the overall meaning of the poem as the poem was rather disjointed, and there were missing parts.
