Midnight Muses’ Dance To see beyond the world in round To watch the Muses dance To swim in blue, fly in gold To hear of word’s romance Then sit on rock of crystal rare And laugh with Muses all Sweet, count them, Muses nine, they come To this, their midnight ball Sit, a’mused, then walk, b’mused Refuse not their powers rare Lay, confused, in words adore Abuse not these lovers fair Should they come a’seeking thee Bid thy night adieu For only a poet of good heart Is whom they come to woo. ~*~ Inspired by William Blake’s To The Muses http://www.library.utoronto.ca/utel/rp/poems/blake3.html |

Sunshine...Musical and lyrical poem sung to the Muse that comes to dwell in the heart of a poet or poetess in those rare witching hours when most choose to sleep. BRAVO!!! ***Ivy Rose |

I really enjoyed this. Inspiration flows wonderfully out of your pen, and you're an inspiration to me! One of these days I'd like to borrow your muse  Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... it is a song that rises from a bleeding wound...or a smiling mouth" ~Kahlil Gibran~ [This message has been edited by Melissa Honeybee (03-26-2002 01:09 PM).] |

Nine is a magical number, and midnight is a magical moment. And Karilea writes with a magical mind and a magic pen.  Into my magic library you go. |

Karilea, instructive poem, but I find waiting for the muse is like waiting for Godot. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Oooh Karilea! I must have missed this on my way to the dungeon, where I still am. Love this, I sure do! This flows beautifully just like a dance...and today I feel as though my muse heard it and danced off into the sunset. LOL. Enjoyed so much! Hugs. |
