These Four Muses Sing
These Four Muses Sing
These four
Muses simply pour
Epic words poets eat
great writes can't be beat
Calliope sent charm and wit
those favored she made it fit
Euterpe gave imagination as a boon
graced with wisdom from brighten moon
Erato sprinkled poet dust on her few
beautiful rhyme is all they now ever do
Polyhymnia awarded shining poetic worded love
made it fit so very well, just like a boxer's glove
Four Muses gracing dear poet's Hearts and Souls
raising man's poetic art by setting ever loftier goals
When poetic words rapidly flow into your sore aching head
think not of yourself but rather of these four great Muses instead

note:
Of the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne who inspired
artists and musicians.
Four of the daughters: Calliope, Euterpe, Erato
and Polyhymnia were specifically responsible for
inspiring poets!!
