The Tenth Muse
The Tenth Muse
Restless spirit of imagination sending daily inspirations
No procrastination for her assignations;
Sees every clue in her investigations – 20/20 education
Tomatoes on freeway ramps variation – daisies in sidewalk perpetuation –
Sunflowers in desert’s appreciation – no gardens – miracles of propagation;
Sees her nine sisters in bright constellations – catches their light in appreciation;
Earthbound muse for words illustration -knows no boundaries - no nation;
Building verses and lyrics for preservation – Oh the sweetest of sensations;
Sometimes, when not looking, takes a vacation – postcards to home with interpretations –
Hoping she’s close in a “stay-cation” – just resting my pen in preparation
When blankness engulfs in contemplation – leading to verses from meditation;
No naps or nonsense in this situation when my muse calls – come with no hesitation!
Stomping her foot in desperation demanding poems as just compensation;
Perhaps a little adoration draws her back to remedy this alliteration;
Bringing some vindication for her exasperation
Best friend, mentor of fascination, her reassuring presence relieves stagnation!
A magnification of her personification!
