Muse For Rent

play it again Sam..

Yesterday  Sam posted a poem called Where Did My Muse Go? in which he was putting lost and found flyers out.  I was inspired to write this poem placing my own flyer and add..... 

Memories keep me awake

   Uncontrolled voices silently loud

      Sounding in the night , words

         Exiled more than once

            Forbidden secrets

               Obstinate thoughts

                  Resounding measures of time not left

                     Resting in the frontal cortex

                        Estranged from reality

                          Nocturnal nightingales

                              Testing my sanity nightly

Hi Rose. A good write about the fickle muse. A skillfully crafted Acrostic. Good presentation. Good imagery, flow and tone. Good depth of feeling. I like the power of the piece. I like this line:
"uncontrolled voices silently loud" - vivid. Good word choice. Well penned and a good read. Write on!

Awesome Acrostic! I think in line 4 that you meant than instead of then? Tell me, dear poet, do you ever sleep?! Your works are very much enjoyed!

Well I have had what I called poetic insomnia since I was about ten though I didn't know what it was then. lol... I try to sleep. Right now I am careing for my 88 year old mother after a fall this past May left her unable to walk. I try to sleep when I can but she wakes me to take her to the bathroom ever two or three hours so whats the use lol. Thanks again Sharon. xo

Yes Than would be correct thank you.. The darn auto spell check messes me up every time lol.

[Sharon L.H. Kelly]

Oh, no...sorry to hear that. I know how hard that is. Hugs.

[Sharon L.H. Kelly]

Auto correct can be pesky, for sure!
