M. L. Kiser Poet Sonnet

Sonnet For My Muse

Alone, on my own, with no one to show; 
no one to share, no one to care.
My muse, she feeds my hungry craves; 
her gifts, are in my notebooks, saved.

My muse, she paints; in quiet space; 
reflects on things, within life’s race.
Through time and space, she does meander; 
creating schemed, as to her viewpoint, I pander.

Filling pages, with storied delights 
and painting dreams, I have at night.
In nooks and crannies, secrets lie; 
of course, a few, will always hide.

It’s my prerogative, you see; 
and that’s the way, I’ll always be.

Kelly Deschler January 23, 2015 at 9:17 PM Where would any poet be without their best friend, the muse? This is a beautiful, heartfelt tribute to yours, M.L. I think we can all relate! M. L.

Jan Allison January 20, 2015 at 4:48 PM We have to treat our muse with kid gloves - I find mine has bad days and need a break some times:-) I think we can all relate to this super sonnet - a 7 from me:-) Hugs Jan xx M. L. Kiser January 20, 2015 at 4:52 PM Thanks Jan. You are so right, as muse's are sensitive and the better we treat them; the greater the reward. I'm glad that you stopped by for a read and comments.

Robert Lindley January 20, 2015 at 4:32 PM Super 7 on this as you capture the essence of a muse so well. "My muse, she paints; in quiet space; reflects on things, within life’s race. Through time and space, she does meander; creating schemed, as to her viewpoint, I pander." Bravo!!!!! A7... M. L. Kiser January 20, 2015 at 4:48 PM I adore my muse, despite her faults. Thank you for such wonderful comments and the bit '7'. I was a bit worried that it might not make the grade, but I guess I didn't need to do so. I do appreciate the comments and feedback.

Charmaine Chircop January 20, 2015 at 4:24 PM The muse definitely feeds my hungry crave too..An outstanding message : ) M. L. Kiser January 20, 2015 at 4:26 PM I am glad that it's done its job. Appreciate the comments.
