Double Checking My Rearview Mirror



I
veer
my car
over to
write down the opus
that just now formed inside my head
or I will lose it, thanks to my ADHD muse

Delightful, John. Everyone would love to have an ADHD muse ~ high maintenance but what the heck!

High maintenance AND short attention span, what a combo!

Hey, hey. Never thought of a Muse as ADHD! Great insight, my friend! And better that your poetry Muse is ADHD than your driving Muse! Smiles, Gershon

Lol I'm ADD and I swear my muse is bipolar so trying to keep a poetic thought can be ...interesting. Nice one John :)

I'm glad you found the humor in this. I meant no offense to my ADD or ADHD friends! Thanks for the visit. Good luck with taming your bipolar muse!

this happens to me so often... I can't write while driving or use electronic devices... sometimes when I am empty I jot down what I can...sometimes I just lose them all together... good write!

for me, nature inspires me so my muse starts singing...

What is it about driving that our muses find so attractive? Thanks for the visit, Sandra.
