was here last night
just happened to be in the neighborhood
I’m hungry she said  
I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
    ...you need to eat better  
don’t mess with me  
you know I’ve got ADD
and I’m having a hard time focusing
do you need to write a poem  
I’ve got a couple of things on my mind  
left over from another poem
woman down the street  
I’ve got polestar  
now that’s a helluva word
     ...I don’t know
how about blue silence
can you work that in somewhere
why do you keep putting words here and there
keep them in a straight line
    ... whose poem is this?
it’s yours
I don’t write poems
I inspire them
...you’re not very inspiring tonight
listen lady
it’s late
what do you want
for a lousy peanut butter sandwich
and then
she took my last banana and was gone

UH... does your Muse know my Muse??? Perhaps they are sisters... evil sisters.
This is a very well done write about a very common subject here on the Blue Pages.

Thank you all. Yes, muses are so hard to please, such teases and so pushy. Ours probably all know each other. Yup DS, they are very self absorbed and probably all have ADD. Gotta love them though. Just hide your bananas.

You make me afraid of muses.  Very afraid.
