A Discussion with my Muse

"Why are you asking me to write?"
I'm neither decadent nor mad."
My muse is quiet, gazing back
With eyes extremely sad.

"They have sent sweet rhyme and rhythm
Right down the drain, you know it's true."
"If romanticism is to live
It's up to folks like you."

"They will all laugh and call my verse
A simpleton's tear-jerking slop.
I'm tired of being ridiculed.
It's better I just stop."

My muse has nothing more to say.
I hear a piercing, silent scream.
She melts and vaporizes to
An iridescent gleam.

Oh how I can relate to this piece. My muse has left me on several occations but it has never vaporized. ( It was just hiding under the bed for a while)
