My Happy Muse Bites Back

Listen up guys I have got some news
This is the latest gossip about my muse
She threw her dummy out of the pram
Sometimes she is such a stroppy madam!

She didn’t mean to cause such great alarm
My ‘Bite Me’ poem didn't mean any harm
I agree it’s not my normal cheerful style
But my muse changes once in a while

I have to go with the flow of my pen
It catches me unawares every now and then 
I hope that I have cleared up any doubt
My vitriolic muse has been given a clout

So humourous muse is back, she’s here to stay
My deep dark muse is on an extended holiday!

To fully understand this you need to have read my 'Bite me Bite me poem http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/bite_me,_bite_me_678663

Lindsay Laurie Date: 6/1/2015 7:21:00 PM G'day Jan... I really enjoyed your explosive poem 'bite me.' You did what a poet does... write for other people to relate to the topic. Always reckoned that you hadn't escaped from the funny farm - Lindsay Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/2/2015 12:50:00 AM They may catch up with me - round me up and throw away the key Lindsay - am currently on the run - shhh don't tell anyone:-) Hugs Jan xx

Duke Beaufort Date: 6/1/2015 6:43:00 PM Wah! We like the deep dark one anytime. In fact we like all the things you write. The dark one was funny in its own right. All forms of expression from you are just the best. The dark one may be away for a while (but she is always in there somewhere). Anytime she wants to come out--she is welcome!

Paul Callus Date: 6/1/2015 5:15:00 PM I suppose this is a kind of disclaimer(?) It is fine to throw the dummy out of the pram once in a while; some things spill out of a sub-conscience; a bit of a slam makes for positive therapy. Hugs // paul Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/1/2015 5:21:00 PM Yes definitely a discalimer Paul - I am just defending my muse :-) Hugs Jan xx
