Musing

“Muse Woman” – Image from hdwallpapers.com

 

calliope pipes pump out epics
streaming miles of stanzas
heroically urged
through eras of brainwave conception

bearded principles chase trending glory
across vellum theaters
syllabic swords clash
throwing epitaph-worthy cold sparks

euterpian harps extrude lyrics
vibrating choruses
hairpin refrains
varnished gastroliths plucked from sweet soil

cloying earthen emotions float skyward
clouding indisposed ears
moist trivial mist
sucking reason through struggling gills

my own nameless muse breathes impatience
weaves a few dozen lines
on her busiest loom
dropping threads of conventional forms

using handy truth-dyed wild metaphor
volition’s own fingers
paint upon textiles
draping self-portraits on copular eyes
