Frank Sheehan Poet Free verse

My Muse Is A Goddess Gone Astray

My muse is a 
Goddess gone astray
She has to be
to deal with me

It seems like she's
always there when I need her
Through all my
travails and ups

and downs. She never
complains. Just gives
me support and comfort.
Whispers sweet music

into my ears
She is definitely
a Goddess- - - - - - -
Like Beatrice to Dante

She has captured
my heart and Love
What a pleasure
to have her around

Ghairo Daniels May 4, 2026 at 11:11 PM A beautiful title, Frank. A lovely simple honestly expressed tribute. A clean format. Uplifting final stanza. I liked the hyphens to give a pause after Goddess ~ it emphasises her nature before connecting her to Beatrice and Dante. Lucky chappy to have a partner, goddess & muse all rolled in one. ThkU for sharing. Have a blessed week. X.

Sotto Poet May 4, 2026 at 4:42 PM The emotional impact of your poem is strong due to the personal nature of the subject. It can resonate with the themes of struggle and support, especially the idea of a steadfast muse through thick and thin. The last line, "What a pleasure to have her around," reinforces the poem's warmth and comforting tone.
