Musings

\nThe poet sat alone by night
\nAnd tried to ease his mind
\nBut when he took up pen to write
\nWhat subjects could he find?<\/p>\n
He thought that love would be a start
\nWith sadness buried deep
\nSome jealousy to take a part?
\nHis muse though stayed asleep<\/p>\n
Perhaps a ballad from the West
\nWhere cowboys rode the range
\nAnd outlaw chase to add some zest
\nAbout the muse, no change.<\/p>\n
“Philosophy! Ah yes that’s it
\nI’ll write the end of god!”
\nHis muse was tempted, not one bit
\nAnd answered “Silly sod”<\/p>\n
A vampire write, so cold and dark
\nWhere blood is spilled from veins
\nThe answer from his muse still stark
\n“These thought just cause me pains”<\/p>\n
A work of nature, bees and flowers
\nThe English countryside
\nHis muse said “sorry, gone for hours,
\nI’m off out for a ride”<\/p>\n
A nonsense verse, like Edward Lear,
\nA Jabberwock, or three
\nHis muse just answered with a sneer
\n“That really isn’t me!”<\/p>\n
Free verse or rhyme or concrete form –
\nHe could not make it work.
\nHis muse withstood the wildest storm
\nAnd just sat down to shirk.<\/p>\n
He turned to drink, then left for bed,
\nBefuddled and confused.
\nThis silly rhyme flowed from his head
\nHis muse\u00a0 at last amused!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
