Poe's Banished MuseA Poem by WhiskurzWhy must they scream at the top of their voices? Can't they see the quill in my hand? I've used them all, I'm running out of choices Why is it they don't understand? My muse is mad, I've sent her away A maniacal being indeed She steals all my words, I've nothing to say Her heart filled with envy and greed I reach for the spirits to calm my quill My hand, unsteady at best The voices get louder, they're haunting me still They scream 'til my sins are confessed They're mocking me for the sake of my muse A curse, no doubt, she coerced She bid all the words to confuse and abuse 'Til her banishment is surely reversed Insanity's the ink that flows through her veins 'Til it reaches the tip of my quill As the spirits entice, my resolve now wanes And I fear I must bend to her will
