Tell me, Oh Muse,

So begins our first poem.

Anger
Goddess
Sing

Very first words
from our very first Muse
so very long ago.

No sweet pretty girl
chiffon floating gently
that first muse of Homer’s.
Harpy Goddess hell-dark
spewing blood and death.

Suffer you all together, Acheans.

To begin the New Year at dVerse https://dversepoets.com/2022/01/10/quadrille-143-muse-cues/ De Jackson aka WhimsyGizmo calls for a rousing of the muse. The Whimsy One asks for a Quadrille. I quote: ‘The Quadrille is that pithy little poem of our own creation here at dVerse, in which we write poems of exactly 44 words (not including the title), and wedge in a word of our choosing.’
As always, I’m in awe of the creative responses by the stellar bodies of the dVerse universe. Read them here: https://www.blenza.com/linkies/links.php?owner=dversepoets&postid=07Jan2022&meme=12540
