Just as you have made someone's life so much better, Erato has hopefully made yours for the better, seems you've portrayed the best of things here though, so I humbly thank you, Regis.

BEAUTIFULLY EXPRESSED. THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING AND MUCH BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS, LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Wow Mon ami,
Very well penned. I am hoping to get my muse back soon. I think the stress of having to go back to work has a lot to do with it.
Nicole

That is quite a muse you have there, Reg...very beautiful piece ~ Hugs, Elizabeth

Do you have a book? I love your poetry. It is wonderful and I would love to have a book of it.

As i read poem after beautiful poem written by you, Reg, i've come accross this simple yet meaningful lines. You have accurately conveyed the incompleteness of life without an inspiration and the wonderful feeling of having one, through this beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing.

Best wishes from your friend in the Philippines,
Sheri

I admire your poem and envy (but lovingly) the talent it takes to just write it so shortly but with every word counting so and meaning so much. Your poetry is so visual to me even if you didn't have the pictures. You can paint pictures and emotions in people's minds and hearts. Take care and love from Meredith

In lie we all nedd some inspiration because of the trials and tribulations that we must face. What would i do or you do without it? Have you ever thought about that? I don't want to even think about it because i need inspiration everyday. Great write.

I really loved the rhythm and flow of this.I feel the same way when I have an idea and sit down to write and theres nothing.Then right when I'm really busy doing something else,the words start comming so fast there's no way I can get it all.I need a tape recorder,lol!
A lovely write!
Many Blessings~Shell

Dear Regis,
May Erato forever inspire your creative pen. It's so good to read. I'm sorry it took so long for me to reply to this poem. I've been so erratic with my replies on the den. I do, however, love reading your work.
Take care
Chanti

Wonderful...whe the Muse strikes it can be quite the miracle.

Dear Regis,

It's been a while :) but what a gloriously beautiful image you portray in this exceptional poem. You have captured the moment so exquisitely. May Erato remain constant, to allow the never ending magical flow and fountain of verse.

Brilliant write, Regis. Indeed, one of your best.
Don't you just love those "singing stars?"

Hi Regis,

This glistens with promise, there will be a lovely tomorrow. My cup-o-tea! Thank you for your kind reviews. My last is an old poem that I got the inspiration to write when I looked at a fake tree that I had in the corner of a room in my house. The words just flew out of me and onto the page. I was just hoping that I got it right. :) Have a good day my friend.

Wonderful tribute to the "Sources" of our writes. Very uplifting.

This is me to a tee, brother of mine. It starts out like I was for many years, and then the light of the sun comes into my life and makes me see my goal become a reality. Thnx for sharing this brother of mine. I really appreciated reading this. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my soul, stubborn to a fault, joy to the world, peace n earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

From baked and bone-dry sands
There now before my eyes
A myriad flowers bloom and bow
In gentle potent breeze
Of fruitful thought
As life springs forth
Inspiration freely flows
As darkness glows
Under a sky of singing stars
I humbly thank Erato

Regis,

THIS, dear friend, is poetry at its finest! Emotional; personal; REAL. Thank you for penning one straight to my heart (and into my library!). Dramatic, indeed...so beautifully imaged and penned. BRAVO!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)

My new favorite of yours. WELL DONE!

Utterly enchanting and beautiful Regis. The art is a dramatic coupling with the poem. Thanks for sharing this gem of inspiration.

Love,
Eileen

Regis, what a truly stunning tribute to the lovely, sultry Erato. It is apparent she has chosen you to whisper in your ear.

Thank you for your welcome back, Regis. It's good to be back, especially when I read such jewels as INSPIRATION. It reminds me of what I missed while gone.

~ Mari

Such "inspiration" can only come from such beautiful flowers, and to think all those years as a kid I never allowed myself to notice them...this poem itself is as well, inspired...Ed

That little minx Erato!! Don't she just take you down and knock you out?! Thank God, Regis! The bright canvas painted beautifully after the fallow cleansing bleachedness of the winter white a while back! The visuals also are like a breath of fresh warmth that perfectly compliment your words. You aren't the only one to be thankful to Erato in this instance. Whatever your season of the soul, you shine, Regis! TY Kate xx

beautiful and uplifting write, mon ami, c'est magnifique! bravo!!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in tx., karen lynn. :D

Absolutely beautiful, Regis. You describe the writer's block so very well. Sometimes it is as though our muse has decided to take a vacation, then suddenly, out of nowhere, an amazing inspiration flows into us.
Take care,
Sherry

Enjoyed..
Wonderful photos Regis....

They turnup at the oddest moments--like when you're in the shower or something. Once I was in Death Valley. The sun was going down, and suddenly the whole place was alive with light. I grabbed the camera!!

So they tease and test us, our muses and our inspiration, sometimes walking beside us, sometimes nothing more than a desert mirage.

Erato should thank You Regis for bringing her to life in your wonderful gem. thanks for sharing
love and peace

An impressive tribute, love song to the goddess of poetry, Regis. She smiles on you now as she can only be pleased with this fluid, graceful write you offer in her honor. Beautifully lyrical. ~~Nordette

God places beauty in the most unlikely places.
