Oh my, all these jars of jelly
Too many flavors to choose

Sticky sweetness, in my belly
I better share some with my muse

She gets a bit emotional
When her sugar levels dip

Perhaps a nice PB and J
Would ease the fellowship

I’ll let her pick which one she wants
It’s better this way, I think

Or else she’ll get a bit flustered
And put up raucous stink

It’s not easy keeping her happy
Sometimes she drives me mad

So I’ll just shut her up, with sweets
And that, will make me glad!

It was years since she could remember
How it felt to be in these shoes
Lacing them up with perfection
Unassuming, his delicate muse

Her pirouette, exquisite and airy
On her toes, twas so easy to see
How it came back to her, so quickly
As she danced with the forest and tree

He adored her, her grace was endless
Every elegant movement she made
How could he have left her behind?
Why on Earth had she even stayed?

For her beauty took his breath away
He knew now he’d never go far
His ballerina, his fantasy come true
Yes, she was his one shining star

I found her sitting in my chair

Dreamy eyes, without a care

Messed up hair, oh, what a sight!

She must have stayed awake all night

Computer screen filled with her words

Some of them, seemed quite absurd

Verses filled, with sky and sea

Lost, in poetic dichotomy

I look again and find her gone

It’s only me, who sits alone

In front of a screen, I am confused

I seem to have misplaced my muse

Oh dear, here goes my muse again

She’s really becoming quite the pain

Throws tantrums just to get her way

Won’t let me sleep, on any day

Until of course, she’s fully sated

Digesting words, regurgitated

From simply too many pages written

I think my muse is finally smitten

Perhaps she’ll leave me, let me be

I can only hope, for my sanity

My muse, alas, has run away

She said she could no longer stay

I drive her crazy, through the night

And keep her up, til morning light

She claims this is no life to live

She needs to dream, so please forgive

My poetry, as it may stray

Til Muse returns, another day
