Visits from the Muse: Poetry and Memoirs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798886798807)

Visits from the Muse

I suspect the Muse of planting seeds

because it's a good metaphor for what happens

a germination in my brain growing into Art

After planting an inspiration she flies away

and doesn't sit on my shoulder to dictate

for that's not her job

If I get writer's block it's not my Muse's fault

the ear is sometimes callous

and cannot hear her whispers

But if I pay attention

and nurture the little sprout

it can grow to maturity

These printed words are her fruit

for the pages would be bare

without visits from the Muse
