The Mythical Nine

To one who places pen to paper, one may work the whims of Terpsichore Those who write a witty Chastushka, may be hearing the voice of Polyhymnia Those who give thought to a Fibonacci, could possibly have heard of Melpomene Those who claim fame to stanzas Ottava Rima, pen with the hand of the Goddess Urania Those who sing Limericks so funny you know, are guided by laughter, the breeze of Erato One of my favorites, the five line Lanterne, inspiration may be given, from dear old Enterpe If one were to write a poem of music you see, could be hearing the tune from Calliope Three lines of ten,seven and six, Kimo could be writing the lines from the heavenly Clio The last style I'll speak is that of Choka, I get my vibes form Celestial Thalia Here are a few of the forms, a poet uses, with the inspiration from the Nine Mythical Muses

Interesting write in this one. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my poem "Opportunity". I hope the clouds lift from my state long enough for me to appreciate something that only happens once in 19 years and for you I hope the weather is clear. I will have to look up some of these Mythical Muses. Sara
