Daniel Turner Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Inspired Muses

Inspired muses reach out from the page
To touch the hearts and minds of those who read
Their presence in descriptive rhymes, a sage
In words of ink your thoughts become a seed

I wonder if it's ever crossed your mind
Someone in years to come might feel your muse
Will it be inspiration they will find
Or will your words just leave them more confused?

And yet we bleed our muse to feel the high
Then cover up the blood in metaphors
We make them laugh, so no one sees us cry
Those fears we hide in words forevermore

But muses rarely ever get the blame
Cause down below, they wisely sign your name.

Just James December 10, 2016 at 5:12 AM Brilliant work! Muse on! Super 7 Daniel Turner December 13, 2016 at 2:23 PM Thank you, James:)

Paloma P December 6, 2016 at 7:17 AM No doubt, a poet's poetry, you've captured the muse in a unique fashion all your own! Love it... 7+ fave. Paloma P December 6, 2016 at 10:11 PM Oh, you make me swoon when you speak Italiano. ;) Daniel Turner December 6, 2016 at 2:29 PM Grazie, grazie, Paloma. Io sono così contento che ti è piaciuto

Eileen Manassian December 5, 2016 at 10:09 AM OH WOW! This is so full of wisdom, dear. Those last six lines were a thundering crescendo....Awesome. I do hope that one day I can play muse to someone. :) Daniel Turner December 5, 2016 at 10:12 AM Eileen dear, I am positive your muse will inspire generations to come:) Thank you for the friendly visit.

Jean Murray December 4, 2016 at 3:13 PM There is a kind of high, isn't there? Even if they are only read for one day, those who read your work are then tuned into you. And those that know you well can tell when you bleed Daniel. One of the wonders of Poetrysoup, this conscious stream. Jean Murray December 4, 2016 at 7:05 PM Well, of course it's nice to see others appreciate our work. But to me work is the opposite of how I feel about the little pieces of me released here. it's my pleasure. Daniel Turner December 4, 2016 at 6:29 PM Yes, Jean and thank you. I think anytime one polishes their vanity, they feel a high, for lack of a better word. In the end, isn't that what we are doing, polishing our vanity?

Jolene Cheyney December 4, 2016 at 12:59 PM Daniel, sometimes I'm confused with my own poetry a week later, so in a hundred years people if they take the time to read it are going to be just absolutely exasperated. Daniel Turner December 4, 2016 at 6:26 PM Thank you, Jolene. I don't know, most people who read poetry are pretty intelligent.

Eve Roper December 3, 2016 at 9:06 PM Thank you, Daniel, for your visit. you always inspire our life when you come to visit. Hugs Eve Daniel Turner December 3, 2016 at 11:13 PM Thank you Mrs Eve. I enjoy your visits very much, too:)

Alexis Y. December 3, 2016 at 7:41 PM Hi Daniel, This is such a well written Sonnett with a good message. Will our words inspire? Or confuse? Your muse caused you to write a top notch poem. Well done. A without a doubt seven and a fav:-) Alexis Daniel Turner December 3, 2016 at 11:12 PM Thank you, Alexis. You're very kind:)

Richard Lamoureux December 3, 2016 at 7:34 PM Excellent rhyming, the masters would appreciate the nod. Daniel Turner December 3, 2016 at 11:11 PM Thank you Richard. It's always a pleasure when you visit:)

Mike Hauser December 3, 2016 at 7:29 PM You are so good at this! The last lines are killer! Daniel Turner December 3, 2016 at 11:10 PM Thanks Mike. You're not so bad, yourself:)

Janice Canerdy December 3, 2016 at 11:30 AM Another GREAT sonnet, Daniel, skillfully-written, emotional--7++, and a favorite! The last two lines are especially good. Janice Daniel Turner December 3, 2016 at 11:10 PM Thank you, Janice. You're too kind:)

Probir Gupta December 3, 2016 at 5:26 AM very instructive and very good ... it will flash across the mind whenever we will write a poem ... great ... Daniel Turner December 3, 2016 at 7:57 AM Thank you Probir:)

Freddie Robinson Jr. December 2, 2016 at 10:48 PM Very clever ending, Daniel. Made me chuckle. Very cool and truthful poem in regard to most poets/poetesses. Personally, I try not to talk over the heads of readers. Don't try to prove that I'm the smartest person in the room ... cause Lord knows I'm not. Do I bleed for my poetry to be read ... nah. Been writing poetry for years, never tried to publish it, and journalism is my skill set. Love your poem though. Daniel Turner December 3, 2016 at 7:57 AM I haven't either Freddie but I'm not dead yet, so I suppose anything is possible. Thank you for dropping by:)

Carrie Richards December 2, 2016 at 8:50 PM I love what you have said here! So many great thoughts we might ponder. Who knows at the click of our mouse, who may someday read a poem we have written, and what they will make of it? So often after all my time on the Soup, I never give much thought to the reader, just write for the pleasure, the experience I get from it. I often forget that it is "out there". Thank you for reminding me...such food for thought this dandy little poem is !! :) Daniel Turner December 3, 2016 at 7:55 AM Thank you Mrs Carrie. We just never know:)

Judy Ball December 2, 2016 at 4:29 PM Oh very nicely done in perfect rhythm and rhyme Daniel. Loved it. A seven from me. God Bless, JB Daniel Turner December 3, 2016 at 7:54 AM Thank you Mrs Judy. You are too kind:)

Tim Smith December 2, 2016 at 2:41 PM I doubt my scribble will be read but you never know...have a nice weekend...I'll be hanging with the chillins Daniel Turner December 3, 2016 at 7:54 AM Yeah Tim, they'll be reading yours! Have fun with your kids:)

Sara Kendrick December 2, 2016 at 2:24 PM Enjoyed reading your work..If only I could be as great as one of the old poets that I have read..I have seen some very worthy work penned by many of the old ones..Thanks for stopping by my page..Sara Daniel Turner December 3, 2016 at 7:53 AM Who knows, Mrs Sara? Someday someone may read a poem of yours and feel the same way you do. Thank you for the friendly visits:)

Chris Green December 2, 2016 at 9:12 AM Very cool Daniel. The last two lines were gold. Quite thought provoking as well as humorous...what will some think if they find our work many years after we are gone. Hmmm. Daniel Turner December 2, 2016 at 11:35 AM Yes, Chris. We must always remember we are putting our name on everything we write. What will our legacy be? Thank you for reading and commenting:)

Eve Roper December 2, 2016 at 9:11 AM Wonderful write, Daniel 7 :-) Daniel Turner December 2, 2016 at 11:33 AM Thank you Mrs Eve:)
