Joyful Muse~



 Poetry is….
One of those moments
  Fixed in a stream of flying….
'Lonely wakeful night'
'Grey dark clouds; continual rain outside'
'a dressing gown hung on the door'
'a clock ticking    … and his confused longings ' 
'Frosty beads poised on a chilled mojito glass'
'Me, warm after a bath…luxurious, scented bedroom'
'The feel of the soft pillow on my face'
'The muffled sound of a t.v downstairs'
“things have ends(or scopes)…and what follows
….assist comprehension of process” Ezra Pound
Every poet finds his or her own muse
- that irresistible silhouette
      draws a verse-maker towards the
    accessible, obtainable, understandable light
It’s an invitation to connect…
   with the fluid world;
Prosaic otherwise…
Words go hither and thither
   do most of the writing,
        or  to get it to the point
     Working on a poetry
          is pure JOY…

  5. It is nice when they have a mind of their own,
    and you are just racing to keep up with them, trying to absorb all
    the detail. A moment of flight, indeed.

    One of those moments
    Fixed in a stream of flying…. even if you'd ended the poem there I still would feel completed sated. So lovely

  7. Amen. When I cannot write, it is usually reluctance to hold something still from the streaming. When I can, much joy follows.

  9. This is a wonderful read and I have to agree the second paragraph is inspirational in itself as the reader conjures up a story behind each set of words.

  10. Yes, poetry is definitely an invitation to connect; and I am so happy to have connected with you. (Smiles.) And, yes, we each find our own muse...or perhaps it is the same muse that we call by different names!

  17. I like your reference to the quotidian aspects of life representing joy....soft pillows cocktails, hot baths ,muffled tvs but my very favourite was the dressing gown hanging on the door...it add a humanity to the whole piece....really enjoyed this one !
