The Return of Mrs Muse

Tom Dylan


Notice of absence from Tom Dylan
Sorry if there is a delay in responses. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon said, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

Poetry showed up on my doorstep

all suitcases and black bin-bags.

She has tears in her eyes

and I'm crying too.

She says this time she'll stay

and I believe her.

        You are very welcome, enjoy your weekend

        Very nice, Tom! She's light-o'-love, though, I believe I saw her disappearing through my window while I was packing my laptop this morning. Only a note left on my pillow - "maybe you'll see me again"

        • Tom Dylan

          Yes, that\'s the one. She is very fickle. As soon as you make plans for the future, for the next write, she up and leaves. Thanks for your comments. Cheers, Tom.

                        Come on Tom - more insights and observations of life and folks please. Poetry is only the medium - I want the message😊

                                  A muse is like the Cycle of the Moon: She's here then gone.
                                  And you have to wait until She comes around again. Lovely Poem.

                                  • Tom Dylan

                                    I will definitely be standing in the garden, waiting to see her light again. Thanks a lot for your comments, Kevin. Really appreciated.

                                        I've missed you something dreadful. Since poetry is always at your elbow, please don't ignore her. Beautifully rendered with gorgeous imagery and a tantalizing poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

                                        • Tom Dylan

                                          Bless ya, thanks Missy! Just been a chaotic time and the weeks have whizzed by. Maybe I will write a poem about it. Thanks as always for your comments. It is good to be back. 🙂
