Through My Window

through my window I watch for signs of her but my muse cannot be seen in starkly barren trees I thought I caught a glimpse of my beloved in a winter dove’s white breast but then she soared away Written 1/20/14 by Andrea Dietrich for nette onclaud's Through My Window poetry contest (double kimo)

Ah to catch a glimpse of a muse. What a treat. Which of the nine daughters of Zeus were you looking for? They can be allusive and suffocating. I talk to them often down by the river. ~Kilmer

Yes, musing through the window. I can identify completely. Just wrote one to precede V day that would go along with yours. Love, daver

Through my window I look for something to brighten a very dull day. I just found it. Thank you.

This is lovely! If your muse can't be seen, then you must be out playing in the trees with her.

Hi Andrea. I can only deduce that use of a title - The Owl and the Pussy Cat, by Eugene Field - is against some law.. If use of the word pussy has been taken to mean something sexual I say this is ludicrous. I mean to contact the soup and ask them what the hell is going on. Thanks, daver

I shall have to try this style of write sometime Andrea, hope it gets you a win in Nettes contest..'

Andrea Dietrich

no it did not get a win. She took issue with it using two syllables for beloved instead of three.
