I never knew I had a muse who helped me find that special word I really thought I was on my own But she's been always there I heard I met her one day on a stroll Through my garden full of roses I heard her shout in pure delight "Oh fragrance sweet, fill up our noses" I laughed, she smiled and we went on To the corner of my dreams We sat down on nature's bench And she was quite at ease it seems I glanced at her, not knowing how I should behave towards this dame She took my hand and tapped it softly "I am your friend, Muse is my name" "You may not know, but I know you well I've been around for quite some time And whenever you took your ink and pen I was often there to help you rhyme" "Oh dear, oh dear,I screamed confused Why haven't you done a better job I write in not my native language And often cursed or had to sob" "Relax" she said, "You're doing fine It doesn't matter if you misspell A word or two or mess up your grammar They'll understand your heart quite well" From that day on we're friends forever My self esteem grew more and more I try to avoid making too many mistakes But writing in English, I just adore Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

Listen to that muse of yours she is quite right, you do better what this being your second language than a lot of folks do with it as their first! Nicely done Titia, and oh so true, the poetry world is a very forgiving one. |

I met her one day on a stroll Through my garden full of roses I heard her shout in pure delight "Oh fragrance sweet, fill up our noses" ~*~ "Relax" she said, "You're doing fine It doesn't matter if you misspell A word or two or mess up your grammar They'll understand your heart quite well" Ain't that the truth?  Your heart speaks well for you... and your soul comes shining through! Love your muse! |

Greetings to both you and your Miss Muse! She is almost as witty, charming and wise as you are!  Titia, you're a marvel to be able to write so well in a language that is not your native one! I adored this write! Giving you a big ole hug of love and big pat on the back! Linda |
