Calliope's Voice


Molly el puma grande has a point.

Hopefully you are all acquainted with The Muses. This poem was written in Minneapolis while I was hosting Voices From the Well Open-Mic. At the time, Chris Shillock was doing an early version of his epic poetry cycle, Millennium City. Its a rather gothic poem and Chris can really get into it when he gets going, especially with a band behind him. Anyway, this is my response to his cycle. Somewhere in the City, Chris dwells on inspiration and dares the Muse to dance with him.

Calliope is the Muse of Epic Poetry, by the way.

So...
