Who Needs a Muse
Waiting once more for the wonders at dawn,
a tired, empty muse paces midnight's lawn
struck dumb by notions refusing to spawn.
With nothing to prompt, she sneaks up the stair.
Some twenty young bards enroute along there
seeking a clue, found her out like a bear.
Two go swimming, three take pets for a stroll,
four watch a mare giving birth to a foal,
two quarrel and bicker, one catches a mole.
Another cleans house for friends who are ill.
three read the Bible; one cooks on the grill;
two trumpeters rehearse their latest drill.
Who needs a muse? Be amused, seize your day!
Embrace moments, then write the night away.
written Dec. 2, 2011
a sonnet similar to Keats' sonnets with four tercets and a couplet
using monorhyme.
2013, Carol Sunshine Brown - WHO WHAT WHERE
