Yes, it simply had to happen! Our Passions in Prose Muse has found a place in her heart for Poetry:
“Which guise would she take? Where is my Clio, goddess of History, she who celebrates fame and glory?
Did she flee? What, then, is her camouflage? If she would alter then let her be Euterpe who charms
and delights with Music and lyrics, or, to be so-blessed, would that she be that one, my best favored,
the beautiful Erato, beloved, of erotic and lyric poetry...” ~ Helga Marion Ross, Help Me Find My Muse!
