I Needed to Write

I needed to write but no subject came,

The landscape sterile, the Writers bane.

No rain of words to anoint the seed,

Those gales of thought by which we feed.

A page like snow where no foot had strayed,

Oh Calliope had flown, no succour paid.

Until; Until I saw her near in Summer dress,

A beguiling smile and flowing tress.

She put to shame the tepid Sun;

To free the Verse and a Poem was done.
