Happy Eighty
Matey!
She’s allied with my Erato,
Poet Muse of Drama and Love.
She fills my life with thoughts of both,
with Erato’s support above.
She shapes my verses with her warmth,
the passion moves my quill.
And til each poem meets their gauge
I’m channeled by their will
She’s been my wife for thirty years
my muse, my critic, confidant,
my lover and my closest friend...
and all a man could ever want.
”Happy
Birthday!”
