What Think You Thalia?

What are your
thoughts on the first two stanzas.
Or am I just fantasizing?

A muse provides inspiration for the poet

Is the poet a ‘mouthpiece’ for the muse?…

If a poet ‘owns’ a muse

Does the muse ‘own’ the poet?…

What think you Thalia?….

She says she’s on tea break…..

Thalia is my muse

I am her poet

Our bond is mutual

A marriage made on Mt Olympus

Other muses were bridesmaids. Nice

Marriage made in heaven would’ve been nicer

But receptions too expensive

And angel bridesmaids cost the earth

What think you Thalia?….

You like making up stories…..
