Calliope's Wings

From Ancient Greece To Middle Earth With My Muse

By Mike Singleton ๐Ÿ’œ Mikeydred Published 4 years ago โ€ข 1 min read

This is a surreal sonnet drawing on classical mythology inspired by my wonderful Muse

In Greek mythology, Calliope ('beautiful voiced), the daughter of Zeus and the Titan goddess Mnemosyne, is the Muse who presides over eloquence and epic poetry; so called from the ecstatic harmony of her voice. Hesiod and Ovid called her the "Chief of all Muses"

Under Autumn Skies We Hold Hands

Calliope's Wings Brought Us Love

We Walk along a Beach of Sand

Neptune Below Selene Above

๐Ÿ•Š

You Are Now My Calliope

You Give Me Your Inspiration

Spin My Words Into Poetry

Woven with Your Sweet Devotion

๐Ÿ•Š

Your Beauty Gives Our Love Wings

Wandering Far We Read The Signs

Autumn In Middle Earth, Leaves Fall

All Hallows Is Close For Us All

But I Have My Muse And Her Love
