Music and Your Muse

Music and your muse What moves you to write? What puts your pen in gear? Your muse you say! Hmmm! Muse is the root word to many things like Music musing, museum, amusing etc. So then, what moves your muse? makes you feel something is it Music? Music moves the world in one way or another Music makes you feel one thing or the other So music moves your muse and your muse moves your pen. Music makes you think makes you muse. If music is funny and you don't have to think is that why they call it amusing? If you listen to the blues then you may give your muse the blues, then you will write sad words of truth. If you listen to rock music you are rocking your muse you may end up writing views dazed and confused If you listen to classical music your muse may be beholden when listening to beethoven and be emboldened to write words that are golden If you listen to jazz music all jazzed up and improvised your muse will be enthused and your writing more stylized So next time you wonder what moves you to ponder about what moves your muse put on some music classical, rock or the blues and put on your dancing shoes Then put your pen in your hand see what ink on the page lands let your music move your muse.
