Illusory Inspiration

The birds all around tell her
it's just an illusion.
There is no diamond;
there is no charming prince 
imprisoned in 
the body of this dove.

Partially blinded by the 
gorgeous mask,
but roughly reminded 
of an assignment due
this Friday, 
she reaches out
with her mind to
record every little
detail in this illusion.

This will be the first
chapter of her novel -
the next best seller.

The muse has spoken.
