My Classical Love

A Sonnet For My Muse

By Mike Singleton πŸ’œ Mikeydred Published 6 months ago β€’ 1 min read
A Nightcafe Creation By The Author

Introduction

Without my Muse I would not be as creative as I am. We are both lovers of Mediterranean Mythology, so this her is for her and inspired by her.

The music is "Aphrodite" by Brandon Fiechter.

You're My Companion, My Inspiration

    You do sonnets so beautifully. I felt like I was really in Greece.

    Another great sonnet, Mike. Is it a true sonnet 3 ax four lines and then two lines to finish? If so, I have nearly done this a couple of times, just haven't put the final two lines in place.

    What a great poem to introduce Greek mythology to a poetry class. Just beautiful and you know you are one lucky man. Good job.

  • Romance, Greek style! Classic and beautiful.
