I Am Obsessed With Writing

Trixie is a muse that is less than amusing
I wake up as she feeds the last line of the best poem ever into my mind
I jump out of bed, take care of the body a bit, and bam.
The entire line is gone, even the first word.
I can hear her snickering.

I spend the rest of the day trying to capture or reinvent the best poem ever.
She does not do this to me daily, but about three times a month.
My writes are frenzied, furious, purposeless even.
I toss things down onto a page that don’t make sense even to me sometimes.
But I am compelled, obsessed, deranged, cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs now.

Frantically attempting to capture
the poems that Trixie is formulating in my sleep,
The ones she teases me with.....

I have to tell you Jan, there are some days I would gladly toss her into a box with a bow and send her to the Isle of Man with the label "Jan the Queen of Flatulence Poems".

I am sure Trixie thinks so. She gets wildly crazy when her name is mentioned.
