Calliope's Wings
From Ancient Greece To Middle Earth With My Muse
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"

Grief
This is inspired by an instagram meme that I shared which is the lead image. Loss of a loved one is difficult to deal with but it is something that we all may have to do at some point in our lives, or we may have already done that and are still dealing with the loss.
