Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

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

Robert J. Lindley, 07-27-2014

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!!
