trixie does not let me wallow or wail

a poem about this
a poem about that
a poem with a bit of gunfire,
rat-a-tat-tat

they have their own minds
throw themselves down on a page
I don’t dare to stop them
I’ve reached a seasoned age

Who am I channeling?
It certainly cannot be Plath or Poe
My stuff is upbeat,
I do not do depression or woe

My muse is in charge
Trixie is her given name
She’s persistent and relentless
A do-something dame
