Lacking a Muse

Those writers inspired by a muse

Have a bevy of topics to choose

So when faced with a time

For composing a rhyme 

There are mountains of thoughts to peruse.


But the rest of us sit there and stare,

Pencils poised, although barely aware

Of the air that surrounds;

Meanwhile just out of bounds

Are ideas others’ muses won’t share.


Still, at last, the mere germ of a thought

Will pass by and, if lucky, be caught

And that’s all that I need

For the poem to proceed

So my worries all add up to naught.
