Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Muses In Gold

To glide with inspiration above quilted clouds
 Where birds so often soar
 Glimpse a sunset hued in gold
 With many colors to adore 
 
 To grasp  the muse that swing from creative vines
 And sway from abstract thoughts
 Upon the page release the lines
 Which meander within the plots 

 Clasp the quill as the ink flows
 And carefully craft each verse
 Clutch the metaphors in rhyme or prose
 As throughout the page they intersperse

 Sometimes the ending can hold a surprise
 And cause a gasp in its trail
  The words flow subtly and with guise
 Its meaning you then inhale
