Notes About The Poem

The Social Distancing Muse

I speed-dial her again: “Flatten the curve,
O muse - I’m dry from social distancing.”
“Abundance of caution”, she says. The nerve!
I press redial. “Please, help me write! Dance! Sing!”
Alas, my muse is self-isolating.

Michelle Faulkner Date: 3/31/2020 6:24:00 PM Oh, I think it is tap-dancing and singing 'Hello my ragtime gaaall' - but only when you're the only one watching! Perfectly pithy poem ;) Login to Reply John Watt Date: 3/31/2020 6:32:00 PM Great comment, Michelle (especially the last 3 words). A wink and a smile back atcha!

My muse must have gotten that idea from yours. : ) xxoo Login to Reply John Watt Date: 3/31/2020 3:17:00 PM Connie, I'm afraid they all talk to each other, lol! I am thankful for the many on Soup who have not lost their muse during this crisis. Thanks for the visit, my friend. Be well ~ John
