Mused

Neville

Mused

 

It was that last

verse

that killed him ..

As indeed,

all last verses

seemed to do ..

But then,

once he had

died,

just a little bit ..

He took

one final deep

breath,

filled his pen

and lay down ..

It was

high time he

thought,

that his muse

took over again ..

    I’m still wondering if the muse knew ahead or perhaps is qualified in an AI or maybe planned it all. Possible just preparing little by little so we won’t be let down. ??

          you've been watching too much Jaques Costeau 🐟🐟🐟

        • LIZ

          Ah nice! In the literary sense....that last verse, when you think you can't give anymore, inspiration takes over, and with one last breath, the poetic rhyme is complete! 💜

            You got it .. and you got it so good .. indeed, you wear it so bloomin well .. Neville 💜

            Ah, dear Nev, who can ever know when the Muse will intercede in the eleventh hour, isn't it always the way. Inspiration comes in the last place you look, because it's there you've found it. Keep writing these gems, that we may admire their beauty. Take care my friend!

              Sometimes finding an ending can be more difficult than finding a beginning. We pray the muse sticks around long enough. And sometimes writing poetry can seem like a slow death. I'll end here because I can't think of anything else to write. - Phil A.

                Like they used to say in those old American Express ads, that'll do nicely sir .. Neville

                You have changed the old saying of it takes (three) to “tangoed” I like the interplay of the lover, the beloved, and the pen…enjoyably dramatic as always…

                  Thank you my friend .. another greatly appreciated visit .. Neville

                  probably the reason why dead poet's reign..
                  your Time will come, dear Poet supreme!
                  glad I get to say, i knew him before
                  they gave him his flowers, belatedly..
                  soar high my friend, till
                  you block out their sun
                  and force them
                  to acknowledge your humanitarian
                  legacy
                  and your poetry's, timeless poignancy

                  • Neville



                    Now wouldn't that be something to write home about .. cheers Mek .. Neville
