The Muse and the Moon  My muse was stolen by the moon on it's chase through the skies to dawn Muse went merrily, don't you know and followed the true poet's song I shouldn't have stayed up so late writing one night a while back with computer glare before me and night's sky so starlit and black I felt her hovering over my shoulder my writing got a wee bit bolder then she'd whip to the top of my head with tickling wit her innuendo spread that sly little muse was laughing at me her humor was so quickly miasmatic had I known then what I know now I'd have locked her up quick in the attic! We struggled a bit with form and flare for I was attempting to respond to a challenge and while my fingers flew and flew my muse plotted her own little revenge! A tap on the window caught my ear I looked over and almost swooned! My muse had caught the merry eye of that jocular Man in the Moon! "Ta-ta!" said she, as she caught a moonbeam which into my darkened room streamed "Wheee!" said she, as the wind grew colder "I'm off to sit on Marge's shoulder…!" So being the fickle muse that she is I'm grinning at my screen anyway… as I'm sure Marge's darling muse will ultimately head my way. ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 25 September, 2000 [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 09-25-2000).] |

Karilea~ I hug you to pieces ! ! What a precious pondering ! Soooooooooo, that explains the 'new voice' in night ! Moonbeams dancing with delight sharing the muse of the night Back and forth she does flit giving us BOTH a merry fit ! A very fickle tickle, indeed ! LOVE IT ! I'm grinning from ear to ear ! Love YOU ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Awww the moon may have taken a small break but we know the SUN is yours forever. How do we know this? Because of the way you always shine so brightly. Hugs, Juls |

How can your muse ever refuse Your wishes that she stay? I'm now confused, I'm so obtuse, Your poem's better than OK. As for 'Deer, what's he doing here? I'd hoped he'd stay away. To me its clear, I'm sincere, But he just wants to play. [This message has been edited by LngJhnAg (edited 09-27-2000).] |
