Melody
Muse takes a break
In foreign chimes,
In random takes,
Swing jerky rhymes.
Muse feels a need
To leave me grief,
As if to feed
Impulse set brief.
Muse can dictate
The course laid sound,
To brew odd fate
In lines that ground.
Muse feels amused
To sense struggle,
To dare confuse
Nudge and trouble.
Muse comes to tease
Or else to ease,
Watch patterns please
Or distort peace.
Muse is fickle
As a lost buzz,
A slow trickle
To break the crust.
Muse can mingle
With lovely fling,
Yet spreads ripples
On writer's spring.
Muse is most bright
With sanguine feel,
Then dawns a light
That shines with zeal.
Muse knows a way
Beyond just write,
For words can play
To tell and cite.
Muse frees the good
Within the shell,
Aligns with mood
To show and tell.
