The Poet and the Muse

The poet - his creative mind is seized by the urge of expression The muse – it blooms like a flower tinged with patina of passion. The imagination – it spreads the wide wings of imagery to fly high The flower – its fragrance trails the song of soaring bird in the sky. The cloud – it carries the molten contours of emotion adrift slow The rain – its torrent takes the cadence of the heart with the flow. The river – it winds in life’s terrain as sunburst sky shines above The sea – it listens to the rippling water creating the lyric of love. The words – they form lattice of pearl the golden beach saves The poem – it cascades as the muse rides the rhythm of waves. March 2, 2021 Contest : List With A Twist Sponsor : Charles Messina
