The Muse Will Not Be Subdued

MUSE has been with me since I was a child,
life has tried to squash, smash, shatter, stifle my spirit;
cut to pieces my words.

The ruin of my existence, the torment, pain-  I take,
I give it all to MUSE to make words beautiful;
to deaden my deep sorrow.

Each day I look down into my soul for inspiration,
hoping to find the end of my forever, ever torture;
thus a poet was born.

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Date: 2/26/2017 2:16:00 AM Beautifully written, Constance. I agree with you, to write poetry we must share the sorrows and deepest emotions. If they are repressed, the pen is too. Lots of luck in the contest...hugs, Rhonda Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 2/26/2017 9:28:00 AM Rhonda thanks for the beautiful and the visit ~

Constance La France Date: 2/25/2017 10:09:00 AM I was told once that to be a poet you must suffer, yes, I think that is true, you need to pull from that place of sorrow and with it, create beauty. Login to Reply
