She disappears when
I want to write
and then annoys me
in the dead of night.
with her pondering,
her remembering,
her painful reflection.
She interrupts my sleep
without hesitation
to regale me
with some reckless speculation.
She speaks to me of dreams
and what might have been.
She torments me with questions
that have no answers
and curiosity that has no end.
And then, she is gone again,
leaving me hanging
on the tip of an idea,
just to remind me once again
that she is the poet.

Dear Ida, I love how you speak about your  friendship with your muse that unfolds in nightly hours. Your muse knows that you will find her input again in daylight and write ...

And you always write with depth and beauty.

Love,
Margherita

Hi Ida, that was wonderful. Miss Muse is interupting my sleep, right now, but that's okay, I wouldn't want it, any other way.

Freedom of expression is our, write.

Yes how we are controlled by the flights of whimsy our muses impose.  Mine is just as fickle.

Dear Ida, your muse always amuses me!

I just had a thought! I bet she hangs around you because YOU are the real poet and she likes to pick at YOUR poetic thoughts! ~ Then you give her all the credit! She's got a pretty good gig, I'd say! lol

Love to you and your muse,

Linda

She sure does get around, doesn't she?  I like this one, Ida.
