We Began Anew

to animate imagination I chose cashmere, apricot, opal and platinum soul’s command center smiled puddles of ideas came swiftly I discarded them Tossing them into the stream of nowhere tantalizing whiskey wishes played in my dendrite field I tossed these tidbits and trinkets aside Sycamore stem of consciousness rolled her eyes I slapped a mean name tag on her trunk Dendrite field used its largest pinkest eraser We began anew My spirit guides began playing with the ignition switch My muse slapped me upside the head When is it our turn? She asked me. I truly had no answer.

Akkina, when are you going to come and live with me? You and Regina are both guilty of giving Trixie and I our BIG HEADs!

Where did you find such words Caren, tantalizing whiskey wishes played in my dendrite field, I reckon you’ve more than one muse on the go, simply brilliant, going from strength to strength, cheers David

I have the main muse, and then she has two assistants. I will never learn their names. They have been warned to stay a secret; Trixie is a force.

Wow Caren is Trixie responsible for all of this - but you guys are together too long and deep down you love each other. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

My goodness! You seem an apt Genera of a physical battlefield observing the war through phrasing binoculars, sitting beyond the scene, taking notes & battlefield reports as a poet/bystander in your own objective bubble of peace. Applause you might tell Muse she is getting thru well...

Muse is Trixie, and she is gloating now which is so much nicer than when she pouts and slaps me upside the head.
