A Date with my Muse

FredPeyer

I dedicate this poem to all of you!

May you have many exciting dates with YOUR muse.

 

Wanted to write

Stared at the wall

Got myself a Sprite

Nothing written at all

 

Wait, there is a thought

About ready to be born

It was all again for naught

So getting onto the horn

 

Talked for an hour

About my productive day

Then went to take a shower

Relaxing under the spray

 

Seriously considered writing

Got distracted by the telly

Interesting but not exciting

Noticed a little feeling in the belly

 

Now hunger rears its ugly head

Have to cook a proper meal

And not forget my daily med

I take a knife and start to peel

 

Back to sit and write once more

All sated and smelling so good

But it is an impossible chore

If I could, I swear I would

 

Figured it was now too late

To restart my writer’s mind

Better ask HER for a date

If my MUSE would be so kind

    You are able to make something out of very little and this is a great example - great write Fred.

    • FredPeyer

      Thanks Michael, I made something out of frustration!

    • Goldfinch60

      That muse can be so tricky to track down sometime. Good write.

      • FredPeyer

        Thanks Goldfinch, you have to be patient and listen to your inner voice!

      • Accidental Poet

        Looks like you were on a date and didn't even know it. I'd say that date went well. Gotta listen to that inner voice Fred. Another masterpiece when you thought nothing there. ; )

        • FredPeyer

          I waited in the cafe for an hour, but since I don't know how she looks like, nothing happened and I went back home alone.

          • Accidental Poet

            Fred, she's everywhere you are. She'll never leave you. ; )

          • Fay Slimm.

            Ha ha - you nailed it again Fred - that Muse does the very same to me when I want to write...........she has to have it HER way with any ideas for my pen.

            • FredPeyer

              You are so right Fay............just goes to show, women ARE bossy! 🙂

            • Louis Gibbs

              Your poem describes well the process of surrendering our minds to our muse, without whom a poet is lost. Kudos, Fred!

              • FredPeyer

                Thanks Louis, you are absolutely right.

              • malubotelho

                This is great Fred and your muse were very generous with you even when you could not recognize her. She wrote it to you without you had noticed. Great writing Fred.

                • FredPeyer

                  Thank you Malu, I guess she does hover in the background sometimes.

                • dusk arising

                  If only my little white muse would stay in its cage and run around on its wheel but it wont. Away it runs, escaping somehow, and brings to me stories of the extraordinary and wit. I dread the thought one day my pet muse will ne'r return or dread of dreads use the cat flap.

                  • FredPeyer

                    Thanks d a, this is such a well written comment. Love the 'pet muse' image!

                  • Christina8

                    This is a superb write! Tracking down your muse can be so tricky sometimes. Love the rhymes! Great read!

                    • FredPeyer

                      Thanks so much, Christina. Yes, it is tricky sometimes. Other-times SHE seems to hover right over our shoulders.

                    • myself and me

                      So you got a date at late night. Wonderful.
                      A good evening story write in anamused way.

                      By the way, may I have some leftover, I am a bit hungry now.

                      • FredPeyer

                        Thank you M&M, of course you can have some leftovers. You have a choice of Chinese, Hawaiian Laulau, Kalua pig which I made in my own imu, or Swiss Cheese Raclette, with a Swiss Chocolate fondue for dessert.

                        • myself and me

                          Wow, are you running a restaurant? Hawaiian Laulau please, no dessert this time. Thank you.

                          • FredPeyer

                            No restaurant, but my wife has a small bakery. At home we both cook, my wife (Chinese) Asian dishes, me (Swiss) European food, and we are both pretty good in everything else in between. In our home love definitely goes through the stomach!

                            • myself and me

                              In this case, I would like to try your dessert.

                            • BRIAN & ANGELA

                              Thanks FRED ~ It always amazes me how people with STATIC MUSES always manage to produce such perfect odes ~ replete with consistent abab cdcd etc rhyming and perfect meter ! GOD help us lesser poets if ever you do find her ! Yours BRIAN. SANTITA and I are collaborating of a FUSION on Fave Games & Pastimes ~ please add a Poem (press DEVELOPING to find it) ~ Thanks B.

                              • FredPeyer

                                Thank you so much Brian! Will try the Fusion thing. Never did it and am not so sure yet how it works. But I will find out.
