A'musing Tragedy 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 Miss Leandra's adventurous spirit Was not to be kept under wraps She shared tales of far-off excursions To places of intrigue not shown on most maps What a soft graceful entrance was Jennae's With a swift pirouette to her chair Such a treat 'twas to see her mind dancing 'Neath the beauty of flowing red hair With the moonrise arrived Ayrasela And the mood took a darkening turn A deep awe overtook as I listened I sat mystified by all I learned Whew...that was the last one...or so I assumed 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 would be my demise No marshmallow raft in sight  ~vlraynes Big hugs to my buddy, Marge, whose ever-growing band of muses was the inspiration for this. Just thought it was about time for an update.  "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet. ~vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 12-18-2001).] |

Vicky~ No one knows my muses exactly like you do~ You treat them with respect when they come to visit you~ To you they're free to travel to stir the ink in your well They always come home happier within my heart to dwell~ It must be that you and I are mirrored facets of the heart My muses simply love you~ they didn't wish to depart~ You have caught their fancy each and every one of them uniquely portrayed Thank you gentle friend ... for the love you've sent my way~ Sometimes a heart may be weary trying to make it all make sense Then a friend comes along ... and finds the missing puzzle piece~ Yeah, so that last one doesn't rhyme but the point of the post is clear ... YOU are poet-in-care of me when my thinking might not be clear~ Thank you sweetest friend in the whole wide world~ You delight me with the love you share with me~ I love you, Vicky~ Happiest of holidays to you from my heart~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ *Wait until you hear of the new one who has arrived~  ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Wow, that’s a lot of muses Marge has!!!! Very cute Vicky, I’d imagine you’d have a very difficult time deciding which to borrow from among all these. Talk about being spoiled for choice!!! (Though, I do believe your own muse has flown back, safe and well here). Loved this one. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Now that is what I call a great stash of muses. No wonder Marge's poetry files are overflowing constantly, to our delight. |

Ahhh Vicky, this was an adorable piece in tribute to dear Marge .... such a menagerie of muses meandering about merrily amongst these lines. You've done a lovely tribute here, and captured each of their personalities beautifully. Very much enjoyed! Best wishes to you and Marge .... and Camilla, Poppie, Skyelara, Sasha, Mona, Destin, Meona, Callie, Kirstin, Cassandra, Leandra, Jennae's, Ayrasela, Sliter, Twiter, and Tambra. /Kit |
