Bj Legros Kelley Poet Rhyme

Oh, Muse

Oh Muse sometimes I wonder where
                            You disappeared to and beware
                            And then you whisper in me ear
                                   Write this! Now that!
                                      And THEN I fear
                                        The epitaph's
                                           Of those
                                           So dear

                         I understand your cloudy gloom
                      Storm clouds block light in the room
                    And whispered gloominess...Now See!!
                        Whisper now Sunshine to me!! 
                       Whisper Joy! The Hummingbird
                         Who brought such joy without
                                        A Word!!   

                         I'm glad to have you near today 
                               I bid you not to go away   
                         Just lighten up, and share the light!
                          I'd rather pen poems of delight!
                         My Muse, I pen suggestions, YOU
                                       I love you so, 
                                But hear me through

                         Walk with me, ten feet, a mile
                       Speak a word that shares a smile!
                           Of rain on desert, aquafers
                                 Of Sun! Of Stars!
                                    The Universe!
                                     Uni Verse Me
                                     In Pure Light
                                  A poem of peace
                                 And sheer delight!

Susan Ashley November 21, 2022 at 9:21 PM Dear BJ, your pensive poem is so passionately expressed. The soulful beauty is deeply moving. Indeed, your poetical and potent plea to your muse is quite exquisite! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Bj Legros Kelley November 28, 2022 at 5:15 PM Thank you Susan, it's amazing how sometimes we're just filled with words flowing, sometimes a bit too reflective and a lot too sad, but not having a muse at all, that writer's block, well, I know you know what I mean as a sister poetess ;) Thank you so much for your visit and comment, I so appreciate you stopping over :) <3

Bill Baker October 8, 2022 at 11:29 PM You have a close relationship with your muse, BJ. I liked the flow of the poem, and enjoyed reading it. Have a great week! Bill Bj Legros Kelley October 21, 2022 at 8:45 PM :) Sometimes I wonder if it's the muse or the blues, but I really hated the sadness that kept forming in my poems :) I have to admit, it was wonderful to be out of the dry spell I fall into from time to time!

Vijay Pandit October 5, 2022 at 4:37 AM Inspiring, uplifting poem, BJ. Much enjoyed the ode to muse: Whisper now Sunshine to me!! Whisper Joy! The Hummingbird who brought such joy without A Word!! Bj Legros Kelley October 21, 2022 at 8:43 PM I actually really enjoyed writing this one Vijay :) After a dry spell where I couldn't seem to write a word, then all of a sudden it was amazing to just be filled with verses; but they were kind of sad poems! I really like happy, uplifting or maybe a bit silly, but the poems were getting me a tad bit depressed! :/ I guess my muse has eased up on the sorrowful, had a good talking to ;) I'm glad you like the poem :) <3
