Calliope Teaching Orpheus, Alexandre-Auguste Hirsch, 1865

Calliope the muse goddess of all that rhymes, lead me on a pathway to the garden where sweet words grow in your bright ray Calliope the muse, sister of all music, song and dance, enchant me, pick up your lyre and play in the mystical key. Calliope the muse of the beautiful voice, the mother of sirens; lover of gods and kings, your home is asylum. Calliope the muse, let your voice be my voice, together we will charm stubborn rocks, change the course of rivers and rejoice.

This is beautiful. Your poem is the second monchielle stanza I have read, and I think it rocks. Thanks for such rhyme to my ears.

Thank you. It is quite a challenge for me to write in rhyme, but I think I'm getting better at it.

outstanding Monchielle that beautifully captured the essence of Calliope the muse. Loved this line: "let your voice be my voice, together we will charm...rejoice." I'd actually forgotten about Calliope until I read your poem. She was one of my mom's favorite muses. Have a splendid evening, hugs, Sara
