If you like poetry

Then Lyrical Muse is the forum for you! It is a lovely group of poets, who share everything from photography and song lyrics, to every type of poetry you can think of! There is always a kind word to be said about all work that is posted... I found this to be quite fitting, it was posted in our chat thread by one of our members...

It occurs to me that "The Muse" is a classy kind of place. If it were a bar it would probably cater to social drinkers and cut off alcoholics at the first belligerent outburst. There would most likely be a steady diet of big band and Sinatra as well as a suit and tie dress code. Refined, you know?

It is the kind of place where people do not say anything negative towards one another. They accept each others work and strictly adhere to the "dress code." The dress code being, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. The crowd that circulates here is intelligent and discreet. There's a few bawdy taverns down the street where people will tell you exactly what they think and a little more than you want to hear, if you go for that sort of thing. People didn't come to "The Muse" for that.

The owner, a classy dame herself, modeled this establishment in her image. She was always tactful and discreet with her friends before opening shop, and just seemed to kind of inject that aura into the place.

I personally find myself visiting a plethora of "bars" and "taverns" in this neighborhood.
One for every mood I happen to find myself afflicted with. But when I want to be treated kindly and with respect, when I need a "shelter from the storm," I come to "The Muse." Mostly I don't say much, just listen. Still yet the people here accept me for all my silence and take it in stride. It's a welcome warm feeling that's rare in this dirty town.

Thanks for that...
