Notes About The Poem
Footnote of useless information...One must always capitolize Muse, or they will become very angry with you. Believe it or not, but I am always inclined to be more safe than sorry.

Mount Your Pegasus

MOUNT YOUR PEGASUS
To stay forever beautiful and young
and ride across the windows of the sky
on wings of Pegasus, of which is sung
the merry nine of Zeus, who never die;

their words are flowing still, from every heart
who writes a rhyme or reason with the pen,
perchance to shape the world, or be a part
of what tomorrow testifies was then.

In all of time, the poets take the lead,
of where the world must go, it's in our hands,
and Zeus still loves his daughters in their need
as sure as every poet understands.

Once mounted, Pegasus must take to wing
and every Muse must ride along and sing!

A musical and interesting sonnet...muses and Pegasus depicted in an unconventional way...
