A Muse-ment

The Muse, that irrepressible urge to create,
that prodding goddess of ancient origin
who breathes dreams into men’s souls.
A Muse is a must-have for any poet.

For Poe it was the opium, Dylan had his drink,
Frost put up fences to keep his thoughts from wandering
But I am not a-mused and thus, take full responsibility
for all the crumpled scraps of paper in the bin.
