Erato: Greek Muse of lyric poetry

...by Pat D'Amico

A PRIVATE PARTY
I am hosting a private party.
My brain cells are dancing a jig.
My fingers are reaching for paper and pen.
It’s a rather important gig.
I can’t send an invitation,
but I’m happily spreading the news.
It’s a one-on-one celebration—
a welcome home for my muse.

Pat D’Amico is a columnist with Northwest Prime Time and a Sharing Stories author, as well as a lucky recipient of her muse.

SHARING STORIES is a weekly column for and about the 50 plus crowd living in the Puget Sound region. Send your stories and photos to ariele@comcast.net. Tell local or personal stories; discuss concerns around aging and other issues; share solutions, good luck, and reasons to celebrate; poems are fine too. Pieces may be edited or excerpted. We reserve the right to select among pieces. Photos are always a plus and a one-sentence bio is requested (where you live, maybe age or career, retired status, etc.).
SHARING STORIES is featured on www.northwestprimetime.com, the website
