This Temptress Called Muse

For Pagemasters Challenge #12

 

 

Inspiration desired... before she retires

What must a writer do?

Ideas all around, some quite profound

As temptation bequeaths golden hue.

 

The words often flow, from whence we can’t go

So we write with a fury unknown

Of things quite unseen, just the feel of the thing

In story, in prose, in poem

 

We want only to share our experience while there

At her feet, this great mistress called muse

Before we forget, or she withdraws just a bit

And her grace we unbearably lose.

 

She oft gives too much, or not quite enough

We never know surely her mood

Perhaps she'll just go, revealing her soul

Leaving that which sustains better than food.

I loved the thought here:

"So we write with a fury unknown
Of things quite unseen, just the feel of the thing"

It drew me back to the picture and the movement shown
and trying to capture that feeling before it's gone.
Nicely done :)

Ah, fairest Muse. The most fickle mistress.

She teases us all. :)
