The Nine Muses

Calliope, gives us epic poetry, but not to me Erato, erotica I’d rather have a cup of tea, Clio, gives us all that is past and gone Euterpe, gave mythology the giver of legends, every one Melpomene, the muse gave us tragedy and many tears Terpsichore, gave us dance, down through the long years Thalia, is my favourite she gave a good laugh Urania, astronomy I love watching stars from my bath Polyhymnia, muse number nine gave us song-not rhyme. Contest Entry for Tracie's Nine poem, nine lines, nine words in each line ~GG~ 11/01/2013
