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
Both the picture and words have that wonderful appeal that only you and your muse produce dear Brian.
Thanks FAY ~ Poetry is from the HEART~ EMOTIONAL not form the HEAD ~ INTELLECTUAL and ~ as you know ~ LYRIC POETRY needs a MUSE ~ I know I do ! Your Lyrically BRIAN
A fine write Brian. but I'm not getting far me self:
Oh woe, woe, where can I find so soon
A muse that will not make me swoon?!' lol
Well STEVE ~ You must find one of the MUSES that your can either BEMUSE or AMUSE and Im sure she wonT REFUSE ~ Yours BRIAN There are SIX available to POETS ~ but at a Price = Your Soul !
CALIOPE ~ Epic Poetry (ANDY already has her !)
ERATO ~ Lyrics Poetry (Im prepared to share every other DAY !
EUTERPE ~ Elegiac Poetry (To DARK for You ?)
POLLY~HYMNIA ~ Spiritual Poetry (You already have Her !)
THALIA ~ Comic Poetry (MICHAEL already has her !)
MELPOMENE ~ Tragic Poetry (She already influences 50% of MPS Members !)
WARNING ~ What will it profit a PERSON ~ if they become
POET LAUREATE ~ and SADLY forfeit their OWN SOUL ?
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.
Very nice poem! Lovely picture too. I had never heard of Erato before this but this poem is sweet! Hugs--Christina
Pleased you liked it CHRISTINA ~ BUT ~ always remember we are MUSE MATES (24/7) ! I AMUSE YOU and YOU BEMUSE ME ! Defusing Hugs ~ BRIAN Amigo de los Museos ! @@@@@@@
I never knew about the 9 muses , looks like you picked a good one or she picked you , cool poem
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
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.
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
