A Writer's Prayer

Amen.

What shall I write, my muse?

What kind of ink abuse

shall I unto this paper bleed?

Dare write my fearless need?

What tale shall I expose

in poetry or prose,

scattered verses on a page,

language of my sanity in rage.

Guide my pen with fluid strokes.

Postpone your playful pranks and jokes.

Grant me an experienced hand

to tailor thoughts at your command.

Author's Note

"playful pranks and jokes" might refer to the annoyances writers often encounter. Writer's block for example.

A conversation with one's muse ... is a lovely way to keep contact ... and to share the bountiful ways that we experience ourselves. One however should not dismiss the needs of the muse herself ... she's the life of the song and the wind of the words. Her pranks seek attention. Nice.

[Blue]

"Her pranks seek attention." Wow. I'll bear that in mind. Thank you, Dayran.
