How to Improve your Artistry

Contributed by norm on Tuesday, 13th May 2003 @ 05:05:00 AM in AEST
Topic: mythology

Down the pier, at the end of the dock,
where the boats pull in to fuel up,
there's always a chair,
As a captain's aware
while his boat dines on diesel for sup.

After fueling is done and the boats had their fun
The captains head back to their slips,
It is then that I know
To those chairs I can go
as I think about poems and some quips.

Sometimes I find that my mind seems to bind,
I assure you, it isn't the booze,
It's just what I think
Does not have any link,
So I call on Calliope Muse.

You know of her sisters and you know of her dad,
and you know you had better be good,
Calliope can
at the drop of her hand
make all that was blocked...understood.

To write and to dance and to paint..here's a tip
the muses will help..if your nice,
The muscle man 'Herc'
says they're known for their work
and he's right..to my poems they add spice.

Call Terpsichore if..'dance' is your thing
and you want to make sure you're Astaire,
Just give me the word
and as quick as a bird,
She'll perform for you right in mid-air.

Those that don't know..can't believe that it's so
and think the above is too bold,
Just give it a try
and you'll see by and by,
your arts will improve by ten fold.

Norm, this has inspired a poem which I will post tomorrow (you will receive due credit)

I have been so busy with replies and comments that the muse .left me ( she can be a vindictive cow when she's ignored)
