Karen Jones Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Written in desperation July 3 2026

Inky As A Muse

I try channeling my inner Inky
Where ideas stream like a spring
With elegance in even her pinky
To write like her a dream

She must be a passionate soul
To reach debts of such a degree 
Where we’ll go you never know
Just have to keep on reading

It’s true her muse is not a prude
They’ve a great ruby relationship 
Poems not slow perhaps obtuse
Hard to speak understand lips

I use words that rhyme too much
So I admire her free style forte
She can rhyme and do trust
She always has something to say

I’m in a bit of a writer’s block
So I’m looking for inspiration 
Ink Empress is my first stop
A creative soul joyful celebration

Lin Lane July 5, 2026 at 6:05 AM You've chosen an excellent role model to shake up your own muse, Karen. Ink is the epitome of a wildflower blooming in a structured garden. She writes in a flowery, but emotional manner that is delightful and sincerely refreshing. What an honor that you see her poetry as inspirational. Ink Empress July 6, 2026 at 4:27 AM Awwn linnersz, if ever I am not flowery, consider checking my brain haha. I appreciate how sincere you are and generous you are with your comment about me. It truly means alot ~ sending you light always Karen Jones July 5, 2026 at 6:50 AM Inky is brilliant. I really find her contest prompts inspiring. Thanks for your kind comments Lin!

Gershon Wolf July 4, 2026 at 8:41 PM 'Inner Inky' had me laughing, but then I realized who you were writing about. If ever there was an inspiration, it is the Empress, in a class by herself. Stay inspired, Karen. Here's to Vision and Voice, Gershon Karen Jones July 4, 2026 at 9:13 PM lol Gershon and I agree! Inky is inspiring!
