She Grows Cars

Don't trifle with the muse.

If I have said one thing in my life

That has been the cause of another man’s inspiration

To write something so longing or so sad

Or something that seethes magic or irreverence

It is only because she taunts me squarely

Her long legs and high a*s dressed in candy

Lips smooth like the reddest of red carnival glass

Hips custom made for resting my cheek on

She busies herself about the yard

Gathering the seeds I require

Those high heels aren’t for weeding

They are merely there because they match my ears

She places the seeds, burying them with lithe fingers

Tipping the watering can and whispering my name

From the ground sprouts a 65’ Mustang convertible

She glances furtively over her shoulder to see my smile

She is my muse and suffers a fate

Worse than any woman should need endure

Keeping me interested enough in myself

To write my lust as reflected in her eyes

She grows cars

THAT is some muse...a muse that can hold such an intense interest WOWZER! I guess I need to up my game around here.lol Great visuals Cee...now off to the garden I go!

Lol....leave it to me to envision a muse like that!!!! Weirdly I'm not even sure what constitutes a muse to me. My mind works a little differently than that. I just want to write something that evokes a feeling or stirring in the subconscious more than in the conscious. Words are limited to describe, kind a vertical picture. Writing that evokes emotion has a depth, a horizontal or layering effect. I like when some one is able to pick something out of the layers. My muse hides in those layers and calls my name and shows me things float like cataracts. Wow, I am just babbling...sorry. Thanks for the review!!!

Aloha, the title got my attention. I really enjoyed the playful, sardonic tone that certainly made me chuckle. Fresh and original, with a measure of witt. She’s a keeper - with those heels and all how could she not be, haha. Nice to meet you Crowley. Mahalo, Izzy.
