SWEET ERATO IS MY MUSE !

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

SOME think my Poems Lyrical

SOME say I'm too Satirical

MY SUBJECTS staid Empirical !

 

But ERATO is my MUSE

Why should I Her help refuse ?

A MORTAL MAN ~ She'll not excuse

 

ONE of the Sacred Muses NINE 

All are LADIES so DIVINE

NOW I am HERS and SHE is MINE !

 

Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

    A pleasure to read Brian

  • Fay Slimm.

    Both the picture and words have that wonderful appeal that only you and your muse produce dear Brian.

          Doh! I shall have to make do with KP as my muse! Well, no-one has her, doubt they ever will! She's the muse of horror writes, all things ghastly, ghoulish, and hideous! The patron saint of Botox! heehee.

            I never knew about the 9 muses , looks like you picked a good one or she picked you , cool poem

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              Thanks WLS ~ It's a two~way thing ! I'm always on the look out for MUSES ~ Human & Mythical and I guess with ERATO the choice was MUTUAL ! BRIAN

            • FredPeyer

              I must say, Brian, you picked the right one! Great poem, she must have helped you a lot!
              I signed up on this internet muse referral service, where you answer a hundred questions and they will match you with the perfect muse, but haven't found anybody yet.

              • BRIAN & ANGELA

                Thanks FRED ~ I think because I was brought up n Liverpool ~ Birthplace of the BEATLES in the 1940's (I was born in 1983) there was always a very good "Muse Presence" and we were taught about the 9 Greek muses in Classics ! So for me the desire (and some ability) to pen odes was ever present ~ OK ! I do have flesh an blood ones ~ who inspire me ~ but help from the Ancient Greek Muses is of also great ~ Yours BRIAN
