Bj Legros Kelley Poet Rhyme

My Moody Muse

                                Where does the muse dance in delight?

                                    She dances not with me tonight.

                                      She sits in sorrowed shadow

                                         In her visit here with me,

                                    Lamenting dear lost loved ones,

                                                Lost to eternity.

                                    So often she's abandoned me,

                                         A creature of complexity,

                                 Some days she's clothed a saint 

                                                   in white,

                               Or buttercup yellow, a sheer delight

                                 Now she visits, robed all in blues,

                                   So colorful, my moody muse

Sotto Poet September 27, 2026 at 5:54 AM Your lovely poem eloquently portrays the moody nature of inspiration. The imagery of the muse's changing attire adds charm and depth, resonating with creative souls. Excellent job

Valsa George September 26, 2026 at 10:49 PM There is evidence that your moody Muse has visited you once more. Beautiful poem dear BJ. Bj Legros Kelley September 27, 2026 at 12:57 AM Thank you Valsa, it was a surprise in all honesty. I was feeling sad, missing loved ones who have passed away, and the muse voiced my laments in poetic snatches that prompted me to compose on site. I guess she is not inspired by housework, cooking and boring tasks as she has kept at bay for quite some time. Thank you for your visit and comment :) <3

Tom Cunningham September 26, 2026 at 10:12 PM Funny thing BJ, they often abandon us but they always come back. Hope you're keeping well. Just back from Italy ,had a great time visiting all the historical sites ,it was so tiring though. Tom🌹 Bj Legros Kelley September 27, 2026 at 1:06 AM It is funny, sometimes I am sure that I will never write again, and then here comes the muse, and inspires me once more :) I am doing ok, and my dear sister is doing better at present, as so far since surgery she is cancer free, less 1/2 kidney, but still, cancer free, and we hope she stays that way. How wonderful, Italy! That is such a dream, worth being tired for. Jerry and I returned from a trip across the state, driving on old Route 66 and through the restored town of Williams, AZ. We too were a bit exhausted, but I would trade our little trek along the old Mother Road for Italy in a heartbeat! I know that you love the old west though, so, I hope that you can come to the USA and see it sometime, and we to Europe, that would be a dream come true. I hope you are resting well and will write of the sites you visited :)
