These Four Muses Sing

These Four Muses Sing These four Muses simply pour Epic words poets eat great writes can't be beat Calliope sent charm and wit those favored she made it fit Euterpe gave imagination as a boon graced with wisdom from brighten moon Erato sprinkled poet dust on her few beautiful rhyme is all they now ever do Polyhymnia awarded shining poetic worded love made it fit so very well, just like a boxer's glove Four Muses gracing dear poet's Hearts and Souls raising man's poetic art by setting ever loftier goals When poetic words rapidly flow into your sore aching head think not of yourself but rather of these four great Muses instead Robert J. Lindley, 07-27-2014 note: Of the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne who inspired artists and musicians. Four of the daughters: Calliope, Euterpe, Erato and Polyhymnia were specifically responsible for inspiring poets!!

I guess we all owe a debt of gratitude to these four great muses. I didn't know about this great fact and will research it a bit to get a better understanding. Great poem, my friend...... Robert.
