A Muse Bewitched

A Muse bewitched one gloomy night Dozed off to sleep ‘midst a write A letter to her dearest friend Perhaps, she penned, I near my end Ensconced in dreams, the Muse cried out But no one there could hear her shout Muffled by three layers of down From quaking fear, about to drown When of a sudden a light went on A beacon from a nearby town Her wits restored, the Muse sighed deep Dashed off a tale of fretful sleep Forgot about her dearest friend For thus is how night terrors end ~ Iambic Tetrameter (mostly) ~

I'm glad about the third stanza you wrote, she was just so happy that she even forgot about her unfinished letter to her dearest friend. Hugs Gershon and blessings. Jennifer.
