Greetings and Salutations;

It's officially spring (insert blundering but enthusiastic happy dance here)!

With the advent of the Vernal Equinox, the second edition of Mused, BellaOnline's Literary Magazine, has been officially unveiled. Take a look as this edition features some exciting new poetry including 'Three Fates' by Patricia Maulding and 'A Soul's Oasis' by Cynthia Parker.
