Ten thousand times through each word-spill I’ve sat here in Blue, thinking of you. At least that many times, but who's counting rhymes? Muse me more, I beg of you, To pull the spirit songs – The True – To pages with the background bare. Dance me to your tune, there. I would follow you to sky If I knew the way to fly. But you’re the one with wings. I sit here in my dreams imagining the fill I’d find in your word-bites. Oh, distant muse, shining bright, I long for you and wish you’d write. I read for signs of your consent to justify my feelings spent. |

"I read for signs of your consent to justify my feelings spent." Lovely write, Jo, and from one who dreams I can tell you that your muse has given consent. Funny that you didn't know it when the evidence sits here on pages of blue.  |

Thank you, Helen, my frend. This is just one of those -- you know, fiddling. Hope you're having a good day way over there and your muse is "speaking up a storm" to you. (Just came back to clarify my slang -- "speaking up a storm" -- a good rain, of course, not meant to be negative at all.)  ....jo |

I loved the rhyme scheme in this very much. "Oh, distant muse, shining bright, I long for you and wish you’d write" great lines..through out..  "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

receptors that combine the cosmic soul, where music rhymes.... yes, I know this feeling of want articulated aptly into a feeling of words return, return, we beg her... enjoyed this and you... |

Aren't muses the biggest teases? I wish mine would send some imagination through my fingers about now! And wings? I've always thought you were the free spirited bird in the family, the one with strong wings and heart. Yep, I agree with Earth Angel. You've the wings, Lady! hugs, misce |

This is a delight to read, The words spatter down like refreshing rain and I was renewed for reading it. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

I Have not so many times To think and ponder upon a rhyme, A couple here, a couple there, Perhaps if written I can share, But I abuse my muse with indecision But not by lack of emotion; But for the act of flying It comes fro the trying Use bees wax and feathers Mixed carefully together And you can glide on the wind Wherever you muse might send But stay far from the sun Least it all becomes undone.

I found this charming. Literally. Especially the ending-- "Oh, distant muse, shining bright, I long for you and wish you’d write. I read for signs of your consent to justify my feelings spent." The sing-song quality of this reminded me of a child's rhyme of prayer, and oh the faith of a child is mighty, yes? Love ya Jo Jo. (and I haven't forgotten) |
