Shine On, Euterpe, Let There Be Light
a quatern
Shine on, Euterpe, cast your light.
We've not much time so please be brief.
"A simple answer brings relief
but careful thought will save you grief."
Focus, dear muse, for we must write,
shine on, Euterpe, cast your light.
"A hasty sonnet quickly flung
the next day finds that verse unsung.
Lay work aside when things feel wrong;
balance labor with time for song."
Shine on, Euterpe, cast your light,
I sense a notion taking flight?
"If while you toil, the words defer,
you hit a wall and stanzas blur
let music be your mind's chaffeur."
Shine on, Euterpe, cast your light.

Euterpe (you ter' pee) is the muse of lyric poetry.
