The Poet's Inspiration

The Poet's Inspiration The poet's inspiration may come as random as a rolling die, as capricious as a vixen's heart, as fleeting as a lover's sigh. Or perhaps it is a gift from the poet's ethereal muse and the poet invokes Erato to paint his verse with rhyme's hues. Either way, a poem's womb is the well of the poet's heart, a reservoir of liquid thought that is the fount of the poet's art. The poet takes up his pen and dips the nib into his heart's well and then unto parchment sets down verse that his muse doth compel.
