An Ode To Muse
Sitting here with pen in hand
No words come at my command
Fertile thoughts flit through my mind
Fleeting as they twist and wind
My mission here to make you smile
Though this could take me quite awhile
As I sit poised to pen some rhyme
Bear with me this could take time
I do not know which words to choose
Or how to phrase things to amuse
I know not how this started out
Or what this poem is all about
I'm trying here with full intent
To catch a thought before it's spent
As musings tumble through my brain
And vanish quickly down the drain
If you're still with me at this line
Then maybe I am doing fine?
That I have kept you reading on
Perhaps I'm doing nothing wrong?
It goes to show that you can write
About nothing at all and still give flight
To any a fancy that comes and goes
As long as it rhymes and gentle flows!
