Where It Began Father Zeus, Mother Mnemosyne King of gods wed goddess of memory to them the daughters nine were born the last, daughter of dance, Terpischore. Calliope, Erato, Euterpe all preferred forms of poetry Melpomene, Thalia, Clio were three one of drama, one comedic, one of history, Urania she cherished her astronomy Polyhymnia loved sacred song, you see. Nine muses sang in choir renown to banish thee of all grief and sorrow call upon thy Muse of choice to look into and upon the morrow. To thine dream state they will come in sweet sing song of visions hum upon the lyre and carillon their voices swell till you utter enigmatically from the well of poetic prose they left in spirit's spell and thee, as recipient, let quill briskly flow as to thee thy muse laid the seed of know. ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 13 August 2000 |

Mark, my friend, take a book, any book, read, and thereon expound... and you, too, can make attempts at becoming a Passionate Poet. [And that's the preacher talking to the choir! LOL!] |

Oh, my friend~ Somehow I missed this one .... The tale of the muses so musical to my heart. Erato and Euterpe are my favorite muse characters .... but each brings a special song to my heart. Thank you for this lovely telling. I will cherish it. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
