Fickle Muse

My muse is a fickle one running way ahead of me, tripping along with song, or simply playing pick-up sticks – I never know for sure. So I give chase and sometimes I lose a train of thought or purpose to focus on one thing or…oh look! a squirrel!

'a squirrel' -- How hilarious! I think you have one-upped the idea of a 'non-sequitur' here! ~ Char Lee Chipmunk

If you are going to write a poem you must concentrate. Or better still write a poem on a squirrel.
