Welcome to the deranged and cluttered mind of a storyteller. Listen to me rant about plots spinning out of control and characters who refuse to cooperate. Watch me grapple with myth and legend until they have turned me into their plaything. Hear me rave about the wonders I have met in the pages of a book as I try to grasp the words that made them and then . . . . tell me a story. I am listening.

Haikus!
My much cluttered muse Too often abandoned Do not leave me yet
If I could pen words For every mindspun thread My fingers would break
Ohlala! I love that line about fingers breaking- I feel like that sometimes. Although more often I feel like my muse has abandoned me. I need to find the happy medium! :)
Excellent work! The first describes my own writing life quite well, whereas the second... well, if that were to happen, I'd hope my pen broke first, giving my fingers a warning. Then I'd start dictating. :)

ReplyDeleteFantastic poems and I completely get the sentiment. I should have written something for my muse...oh dear, he's gonna be mad at me.
ReplyDeleteI agree Stephanie. A happy medium would be very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jan. For the complement and returning the cyber call.
haha. Don't worry Tessa. You can tell him I crept into your mind late at night and stole them.
Taryn - These are awesome! I don't think I have a muse. I do have many, many voices in my head. Letting them out one at a time is the challenge. =D
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting
ReplyDeleteI love the first line- very tactile
Wow, I can relate to both of these. Excellent job!
