My Fairy Muse
by Linda L. Dowd

My fairy muse,
~ Her name is Merry.
She can amuse,
and be contrary!

She flits and flies
about my head.
And darts around
when I'm in bed.

She wakes me up
in ‘mid of nite’,
~ Says, "Grab a pen!
And write, write, write!"

She talks of love
and fantasy,
~ Then she's spoutin'
Philosophy!

Merry is my
inspiration.
But there are times,
~ She's pure frustration!

She spews out words
from soft to bold.
~ One moment hot,
~ Next moment cold.

She speaks like saint,
and then does not,
Speaks angel words
~ Then words red hot!

When she's away,
I long to hear,
~ Poetic words,
ring in my ear.

My Merry's aim
is to confuse,
~ But I won't trade
my fairy muse!

~

Merry Mary
Quite contrary
Sometimes fun
And sometimes scary.

When you're awake
She hides so that she can't be found
But Linda,
It's you that she feels the need
To hang around.

Loved it and may your fairy always be close at hand.

Merry makes me do it! ~ and when I do, I sometimes become F.A. ~ the fallen angel.

Love & hugs to you, as well, from

E.A. and her sidekick ~ Merry the Fairy

My Merry muse liked your response so much, she's threatening to abandon me and fly off to England to be with you! I tried to tell her that you do not need her anywhere near as much as I do ~ but that Merry, can sure be contrary! Perhaps you'll be able to tame her!

Thank you for the sweet poetic reply!

I'll let Merry know that you liked it! She is the one who wrote the good 'schtuff' about herself!

Linda,
There's a lot of them about. I've got one too. His name is Alan & he's constantly waking me up when I'm sound asleep by throwing water into my face and shoving a pen into my hand. He's very keen on arranging an exchange trip to the US but I've told him, I need him here.

This is so lovely ... I always enjoy the collaboration of Angelo Terrestre and "her sidekick ~ Merry the Fairy".

It's almost ten days that this fantastic couple is missing here on Pip!

So, where have you gone to create new "schtuff"??

You are very much missed!

Love and hugs.

Linda, you and your muse, were so missed, by I.

Such a cute write.
And so true too.
It's always when we are comfortable in bed, when the mind has time to collect it's thoughts.

Very cute picture of you too.
Now I know where to go for my VeetaVitaVegamin.

I am so fortunate that Merry seldom ever leaves me ~ and if she does, it is for a very short period of time. She loves spoutin' her poetic pearls, too much to be gone for long! lol

Anyone who would write "Oh Lindakins, pixie of PiP, you are adorable!", most assuredly is an adorable pixie herself!!!

Loved your reply, dear Alikins!

Love you 2,

My word! Your muse Alan wants arrange an exchange trip with my Merry? Hmmm, that could be arranged! ~ Nah, on second thought, I think that would be rather disloyal of me. Merry has never let me down and I really do appreciate her wellspring of poetic pearls!

Curious aside, my last boyfriend was an Alan! ~ and he came from England! lol
