Used by the Muse Here I sit, after the holidays. Everything is quiet, and waiting for the big party, to end the year. Struggling on page 95 of a hopeful 220, I am stuck, thinking of the past, wishing for the future, and trying to be alive for the now. Poetry makes me happy, or sad, let's be real, it is heartfelt, soul boggling and warm like the sun, cold-like the moon, and frostbitten, on the fingers. The novel I struggle, the prose much the same, it is the rhythm and melody, that dance differently, between the lines, to entertain and take the reader to places; wild adventure, physics bent, pretzels made for giants, that do not eat sweets anymore. And law(s) that is(are) just, and unjust but spent. 96 is calling and bits of 200, but in due time, all will be. The Last Dance, a romance, for a man without a country, between the good and evil, of a world that no longer... dares to care.

"Poetry makes me happy, or sad, let's be real, " this made me smile today and head toward the chocolate candy box.

I so get it... I need to lose a few, but my muse, well she is weightless and eats all she likes. So not fair... hugs. Ann

My muse is a vixen that delights in offerings that are beyond my reach. Then laughs at my weakness my failure to attain that which she toys with as bait. You are correct, poetry has the power to make poets happy-- if they refuse to demand of it fame and treasure-- they instead just write.. A fav.. your verses inspire me to start another poem tonight.
