Playful Ink Of Think ~*Marge Tindal*~ She sits within my inkwell Prissy musing impish grin Daring me to quill her Sipping her to my pen Splashing about impatiently She makes her presence known Daring me to grab her Making her thoughts my own I go about my business Ignoring her as best I can Suddenly I am splashed With her ink upon my hand I grin and dip my quill Gently within her ink Okay, okay, come out and play You little muse of think She's in her glory now Spreading her thoughts in song She writes in impish laughter 'What took you so gosh-darn long ?' ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Wow!! Learning more and more about muses everyday! Thanks for the muse, Marge! I'll treat her very well! I think this poem is great....I sure hope my newly borrowed muse can get through to me!

Kit~ Yep ... and even more info on the muses in Masters new poem ... now that's inspirational for sure ! We all need to heed our muses call. (like I could ignore this insistent little one !) ESP~ You are more than welcome for the muse, Camilla ... remember to keep her warm, even though it is your winter time. You are delightful and I have so enjoyed our chats. Serenity~ Thanks for the *hug* .. never can get too many of those ! Melissa~ Well, I never thought of myself as a muse ... AMUSING, perhaps ! If you ever need musing ... feel free to call on me ! NetSwan~ Glad you enjoyed it. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

LoveBug~ Well, I did have a little 'cutie' to write about. Thank you. Amy~ Thank you, sweetie. She's funny alright ! Jeffrey~ You're adorable. Claire~ Oh, she's whimsical alright ! Not to mention INSISTENT ... you'd just have to be here to see her pitch her little flirtatious fits. Devina~ She IS prissy ! You should see her antics trying to get my attention. I don't make this stuff up ... I swear she's REAL. She's my muse of comedy ... and when she wants to play ... she will let her presence be known. Martie~ Awwwwww ! I love you all ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Denise~ This is my playful muse I should miss her if she went. But if she doesn't mind her manners it may be to Philly she gets sent. She really is an impish one but I've failed to mention, I have to keep the inkwell filled when she demands attention. Her musing name is Poppie and it fits her well. She is forever popping in and out of the inkwell. She gives me much delight spreading her laughter about, but she pitches little fits if I don't let her out. *Thanks, Denise. I have several muses in the lease/loan program. Love ya' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

I am glad that you find writing so easy, because you are very talented at it . I can just immagine the little impish grin, very discriptive . Writing is one of the most enjoyable past times, so enjoy yourself lots. Great poem . L.of.L. Tom . With poetry as your weapon - express your iner feelings so all may carry your sorrow, united as one . |

Your little musing quill, Does make music and song, I can hear the voices so shrill, Each moment of waiting seems so long. Often as I finish reading, What your muse has had to say, I end up waiting and longing, To see if the imp has had her way. Ink splashing, ever so sweetly, A dash of colour, sprucing a flower, Come spring, come winter, looks so lovely, Rainbow even with pots of gold, seems all the more lower.. Poppie sure sounds quite correct, Singing with spread thought, Forgive me for being so direct, Please let there be forever be ink in her pot... ------------ before I keep on with this, as I sometimes tend to go overboard, let me say, what wonderful work, I have seen here. For the minimal no. of days here, I am impressed to the hilt. So many wonderful poets here, ready to share what they feel. I am blessed to be here and am enjoying it... Marge, once again this is terrific work, and I should say it again that I am forever waiting to read more work from you.... Warm regards, sudhir < !signature--> In any moment of decision, The best thing you can do is the right thing, The next-best thing is the wrong thing, And the worst thing you can do is nothing. - Theodore Roosevelt [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 05-08-2000).] |

Nan~ Now you've done it ! Poppie will want even MORE recognition. It makes me happy to see your little jump-roper ! Glad it's a favorite. Tom~ Thank you so much. My muses do make it 'easy' .. but sometimes they can crack a mean whip ! Sudhir~ Definitely NOT overboard ! I can see the little muses are working you overtime too. Thank you for sharing this inspired piece. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

And then... some time after five Am. when the ocean rolls I slip in my robe and these words break away with ceasing response to the telephone hails and kindred spirits lie near secured dales bay in the hush silent of the twilight pale and nightfall stoops low to caress her day while voices say in the wood that flows some time after five when the tide goes low though shadows purple may darken my trail past ebbing tides where the arcane sail I shall fare thee well with a wee dip of ale and a ripple of wry water and share thee a tale of a lonely floating excursion away towards mysticque. If I could paint a portrait, of this life in which I've led, and somehow sketch a story, of the visions in my head, I'd start out with a canvas, stretched tightly in a frame, and in the bottom corner, I'd leave room to sign my name.

Marge, Wow. Where can I get one like this? Yours and J. Marie's are something else. You and your muse are enjoyed by all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Tracie~ Thank you ... she is a comedic little doll ! Lori~ How sweet. She likes your comments very much. But if you all keep 'turning her head' she'll certainly want to start splashing again. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
