in need of a muse, as mine was on leave I mentioned it to my friend Marge she sweetly said 'please...choose one of my gals you may keep her all day at no charge' but there were so many i could not decide so i held interviews with each one for then i would know...i'd be able to choose which muse i would find the most fun first there was Camilla telling of places where wildflowers bloom in the sun where butterflies flutter and ladybugs mutter of chores they must do before daylight is done Poppie just giggled and tickled my fancy making me laugh at the path her mind took while skipping through treetops and sliding on rainbows and sharing a joke with a babbling brook Skyelara spoke softly of forefathers anguish the loss of their land and an undying pride she told of a journey of heartache and sorrow a Trail of Tears where so many had died Sweet Sasha brought photos...with each one a story of laughter and teardrops and hearts filled with love she guided me gently through the land of remember where memories fly free on the wings of a dove Mona got bored and just wouldn't sit still so we hopped in the car...headed North just for fun then perched on my shoulder she sang songs of romance and true love that comes when you know he's the one Now Destin is wise...a teacher of history sharing events from before i was born her knowledge, extensive, impressed me so greatly i listened and learned till the wee early morn sweet gentle Meona...a sensitive soul her caring for others is honest and true she shares in their sadness and catches their teardrops for hearts such as hers are so precious and few though Callie was happy and smiled a lot she seemed to be caught in a dream she gushed of her sweetheart with head in the clouds she's so lost in love...it's extreme when Kirstin arrived it was time for some fun we ran off to the mall for a bit then back to the house where we listened to music and talked about dating...OH NO...NOT A ZIT!!! Cassandra...quite mellow...she strummed a guitar as she shared with me her point of view the stories she told me hit close to my heart and actually made me quite blue Whew...that was the last one...or so i did think as i strolled towards the kitchen door but to my surprise, they were all gathered there at the invite of three muses more Seems Sliter, Twiter, and Tambra had emptied my cupboards without thinking twice as i entered i slipped...fell headfirst and drown a vat of hot chocolate to be my demise ...no marshmallow raft in sight ~vlraynes *This is dedicated to Marge and her wonderful and talented muses. Thanks so much for sharing them with me, my friend. We had great fun!!

vicky, how you made me smile with this one. Marge is an incredible lady, and has "been there" for me more than once or twice. I applaud this wonderful tribute to our forum "mom", and her many many exceptional muses. |

Vicky~ Oh, my ... you did these little darlings proud. I've told everyone that would listen - about these precious muses ... but now maybe they will believe me ! ! You truly picked up the spirit of each of them. I'm soooooo happy to have given them the chance to travel to see you. LOL at the antics you e-mailed me of Sliter, Twiter and Tambra ! They are a trip and a half ! Anytime you need my little lend-a-muse arrangement ... you just ask, my friend. They all would love to go again ! You're such a sweetie and a gracious hostess ! I love you ! LOL ! At the raspberry hot chocolate ! You're just a doll ! See .... I told you they'd work you ! ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Vicky -  I'm so glad Marge was generous with her muses, and we do know how well they work for her! Hope yours comes back soon, although you seem to have done quite well without her this time! Loved this.To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

though Callie was happy and smiled a lot she seemed to be caught in a dream she gushed of her sweetheart with head in the clouds she's so lost in love...it's extreme ==================== thats my girl...LOL... a ways back Miss Margie lent me Miss Callie...and she was a perfect match for me.. Vicky this is adorable...what fun.. very well done...your muse is closer than ya think  all it takes is someone else to believe in you... and Margie and her band of gifted muses does that for us... very sweet Vicky-gator jm I looked into the sky for my anthem The words and music came through But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen Looking into you |

Vicky, What a fantastic tribute to the creativity of our dear Marge, but how did she get so many muses when some of us have only one, and then only on a part time basis, I am so jealous! :^( You did yourself and Marge proud with this one. BRAVO! Dennis :^) p.s. I'm adding this thread to my library so I can read it over and over again, for inspiration of course! Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has passed Playful shadows dance Dennis L. White :^) |

Now how is it that you know of all of her muses and I have been kept in the dark as to where all of her wonderful verses come from. No wonder she shines so well. I too am jealous but only because I would love to have that many females to a"MUSE" me and give me inspiration....LOL. What a wonderful poetic piece of smiles you have given us with this one. Loved it as much as the friendship I share with you and our dear Margie girl. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

Well this was just too darn precious. I think of all the muses I am inclined to want to hang out with the little Mona, she looks like fun! I can tell the work you put into this and appreciate every single word of it. How very talented you are, and now that I know who you are - here I go to read some more. Thank you for such a entertaining read, and Marge thanks for lending her the ammo to work with, as this was poetic dynamite! "Lose your temper and you lose a friend; lie and you lose yourself." |
