muses, help!

PLEASE, HELP

ME MUSES!

Une Sonnette en

Pentametre d’Iambique

By Izzy Ess Of

Helplessness

Oh, Muse of Poetry, where art thou now?

Have you abandoned me in favour of a cow?

Come whisper to me my next rhyming pair

Of lines in the iambic style, aware

That I would like to write a sonnette, eh?

Compose before the bards in Mandalay

Pick Xanadu and Timbuktu, anew,

To pick your brains before the motley crew

Sees swallows fly to Capistrano and

Create a brass and woodwind brand of band!

Oh Muse of Prose, will you accomplish tales

Of salamanders and of lobster tails

For my amusement as my fingers roam

Around the keyboard ‘til they come back home?

THE END
