Muse
Sometimes, when I sit down to write,
a blank piece of paper in front of me,
I see beautiful words already there.
But it was always going to be you
who helped me put them on the page.

I like the title...
but think that it could be a little more involved. I don't know, maybe something like: Midnight Muse, or Amuse Me Muse?
This is all you could give on your muse? The one who roams the world, searching for tales to bring you; sitting on your lap, whispering in your ear? It begins well, but I could wish for a much longer piece. ~ Geez.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Thanks Geez! As I've said
Thanks Geez! As I've said before - always leave them wanting more - LOL! If brevity is not your cup of tea, then you may not like the body of work by the poet, Atticus (an inspiration for me). Always appreciate your comments sir!

I just had...
to go look up Atticus! I agree, the poet has a fantastic mind. Some of his stuff, a little hard to follow at first, but ultimately, worth the time. ~ Thanks for sharing, ~ Geez.

Muse
Hello, Michael,
This is exactly the way it works. What would we do without our muse(s)...musi? :) Sweet, and inspiring poetry.
Thank you!
