Muse and goddess, shining bright

Your love eludes me

Inspired by the unrequited love of Maude Gonne by WB Yeats.

Very beautiful Meg. I do love the writing of Keats and you have done justice to his writing about his muse.

Beautiful poem Meg, very pretty and whimsical. “No Second Troy”, Yeats was not so kind. ~ Mia

    I like it when something makes you feel a certain way. It has done its job.

    I’m so glad! I’ve been quite taken with Yeats over the last month or two and I’m reading a biography right now.

    There is nothing like experiencing genuine emotion when reading or watching something.

    Well, my reading is going to be severely limited starting November 1, so I’m making the most of it now. Yeats is a pretty fascinating guy so the bio isn’t hard to read.
