Tags: livingpassion  sonnet  Training  Ear  Shakespearean  Sirens  and  Muses   Description: Playing around a bit with mythology in my poetry... Thoughts? I think I've caught a Siren, not a Muse; This fact, if true, my silence would explain. Though both alluring, Siren's would refuse To offer up the good their songs proclaim Instead, they send a sweet beguiling tune Across the waves to draw the writer in. And then, they trap him there and, all too soon, His poetry dries up. His words grow thin. A Muse, if truly it be She that calls, May not appear so sweet when first assessed; But, if her song is heeded, it enthralls And soon the writer finds his voice possessed. Thus I must train my ear, I must resist This Siren's song- My journey must persist!

I'm 20 and, while I get frustrated at the limitations that a lack of experience lends to writing, I'm glad I got started young. I have time to grow. Again, thank you very much! __________________________________________________

Theotokos86 ::: Favorites  2007-08-01 21:34:33 Perhaps Virgil best teaches us how to be kept safe from the false siren's call...never settle but for the perfect line. Virgil wrote the Aeniad at about one line per day I read. To bad the translation makes us miss the beauty of his poetry, though if we know Latin well enough, we can hear the music, like Dante with the Italian. __________________________________________________
