Line Gauthier Poet Couplet

A Muse Ment

i set the mood
a quiet interlude

i cajole her
i console her

she's capricious
not malicious

i don't rush her
there's no pressure

she's usually game to play
there's time she says 'no way'

she's temperamental as a cat
she's the feather in my hat

at times a recluse
she's my muse
