Muse On Vacation
Inside my head the cogs are clicking
Really need oiling with inspiration
Fast asleep is the main aggressor
my muse, says he is on vacation.
Gone are the thoughts
That keep me awake at night
Gone are the words
Forgotten next morning light.
Muse is asleep snoring quite loudly
Thought I had tinnitus, ‘til I realised
Now what can I do to set muse in action
write without him he won’t be best pleased.
So I uttered sweet words to muse
Told him without him I am no-one
felt my brain cells start to click into gear.
Think I have the first line of a poem.
Inside my head all is now ok
Cogs are turning fine, which I am glad to see
Muse is busy writing poetry galore.
Me, I feel like a nap, wake me later with coffee
