The nine muses of Ancient Greece were the inspiration for the poetry prompt from Gage from the Instagram page @impromptuwriters: “Choose a muse and write a poem based on their domaine of inspiration. Be sure to start it off by invoking them!”

I decided to write haikus about each of the muses. After sending them in, he gave me some feedback, before posting some of my haikus on his page. I was pretty excited to be featured on another writer’s page, and I shared that excitement with some close friends and family members. Below, I have embedded the two posts I’m featured in, which together have seven of my haikus. I have also posted as the ones for Polyhymnia and Euterpe. Please enjoy, and be sure to check out Gage’s page for writing prompts and featured writers!

“Hello,” (Euterpe, Music)

Hello, Euterpe.

Help me sing my soul out loud.

Bless me with a song.

“Orpheus,” (Polyhymnia, Sacred Song)

Polyhymnia.

Your son, Orpheus, plays well.

He takes after you.
