Roses atop spun gold
Sea-green eyes so still with love
Songs are sparrow-sweet


This haiku is dedicated to the muse, Erato.
I feel such a kinship with her as she is the muse of lyrical poetry.

Perched on sorrow's edge
Love, hate, pain are twinned and twined
Beauty behind tears


This haiku is dedicated to the muse, Melpomene.
There's a strange beauty in tragedy, as much as there are many lessons also...

Flourishing with laughs
Smiling eyes under her mask
Wear wreath of applause


This haiku is dedicated to the muse, Thalia
We all need to kick back and find a way to laugh, hence why I love Thalia so much, haha!

Clouds rides sorrow's wings
Her voice brighter than the sun
Hearts burst, touched by warmth


Covering the Nine Greek Muses now, haha!
Starting with one of the muse, Calliope.
Known to be one of the wisest of muses and gifted with the most elegant of voices!

Lyre on her lap
Unsheathed the quill from inkpot
History now dries


Second muse for the day! ^-^
This haiku is dedicated to the muse, Clio.
I will always have a passion of history, haha!
The ink is dry on history but even so, history isn't always truthful...

Heart aglow with praise
Songs that heals the souls of all
Born, the rich harvest


This one is for the muse, Polyhymnia
I've always imagined that her hymns could move the sounds
of the earth, hence why her harvest is always bountiful.

Fingers tend to keys
Her hands precise with passion
Leave all souls enriched


This haiku is dedicated to the muse, Euterpe!
I hope I captured the magic of melody, music is truly a gift.
She is a true giver of delight.

Drumbeat spiced with joy
Chiffon hips ****** left and right
Ribbons charm the wind


Covering the Nine Greek Muses now, haha!
Starting with one of my favourite Muse, Terpsichore!
No words can express how much I love her, I swear, haha!

She who give what's due
Broken echos reach her ears
Pool entraps his gaze


Haiku dedicated to Nemesis, Goddess of Retribution.
Again, one of my favourite goddesses, haha!
I wish she had alot more love also, much like Iris.

Petal-soft wings stir
Warm zephyrs guide her to graves
Ascend by rainbows


Another woman of myth, the Goddess Iris!
I feel like she doesn't get enough love and admiration.
I absolutely adore this greek Goddess (and Irises happen to be one of my favourite flowers, haha)!
