Of Muse - Ck

Of Muse - CK

My muse
 
Often comes

In playful storms -

A swirling hurricane

Of words.

I'll go get my umbrella. Looks like a rain delay for sure! Now I need to scrape this mud off my cleats... Love this, Sam - congrats on your win today ~ John

Just a short rain delay - hopefully! Didn't even need to get the tarp on the field. This one woke me up at night - guess my muse had insomnia before the first game! Thank you, John. Always good to hear from you! Be blessed.

Hello Sam Kauffman, a question: What does CK mean? Thank you. We never know what our muse will make the pen flow with word for a poem. Enjoy your day my friend. Be safe.

Hello Sam Kauffman, I am fine thank you. CK is a mystery to many of us. It is never boring-an adventure for sure. Cheers to our muse! Cheers! Enjoy your day my friend. Be safe.

Maybe CK represents the c and the k in cinqku? Just a guess.

Hi Darlene, hope all is well with you. I'm not sure what CK means but Charlie requested it in the Poem title. Soo. I think not knowing when the muse will show up makes writing a delightful - never boring - adventure. Here's to our muse, dear friend. Blessings!

A storm is exciting and fearsome, beautiful yet destructing but always comes in a whirl and swirl as does your muse -your muse sounds like quite a wonder to have around. Blessings, Jennifer.

PS - Became interested in your last name. Looked it up as a wordsmith who loves the meanings of words.. It means envoy or ambassador. I think that is just perfect! Just a thought!

Hi Jennifer! I think you have nailed the experience of a storm - pluses and challenges - especially from a writing standpoint. Thank you for this wise perspective! Yes, my muse never ceases to amaze me! Hope all is well with you! Many blessings to you!

Wow, I love the storm metaphor - it can overwhelm in the most fantastic way! Best wishes for the contest, Sam!

Thank you so much Michelle. I love it when my muse comes and sits on my lap, whispering, sometimes shouting, in my ear spinning me around! It feels like a good storm!

Thank you Maureen. This poem woke me up at 3:00 am last night! I guess my muse was awake even when I was not! She must be a night owl! Take care and may your muse continue to inspire your wonderful verses!
