If We Poets

Accidental Poet

Of valued thoughts

I call upon you my friends

Do you contemplate your muse?

The source of writes you penned

 

Can a muse be male or female?

Would it make a difference?

Maybe it depends on us

Our personal preference

 

No need to eat

Nor for water do they thirst

But when something to say

To us they turn to first

 

And some might say

A muse is just a myth

That only in our minds

Does a muse really exist

 

Personally

I’d like to believe

That within all life

A silent voice conceived

 

Though I could be wrong

It might be all in my mind

Or maybe of a muse

Similar thoughts you find

 

For what could be the source

Even with this very write

Some internal energy

Of compositional light

 

Could it be my muse within

Trying to band with other muses

For all of us

To pen a write for common uses

 

A calling for world peace

That all tribes of man

Share a sense of compassion

And not destroy each other’s land

 

The Earth is all we have

Together we must learn to live

Without borders for love

May we all learn to give

 

We write of emotions

To express with poetic flair

Of things dear to our hearts

For one and all we care

 

If we poets could convince the world

Without violence we might survive

To save all life on our planet

Keep us all alive

    • Accidental Poet

      Thank you WL, your compliments are equally as cool. ; )

    • Goldfinch60

      Very good write. My muse comes from many places but just in case I have Calliope looking down at me in the room where I write.

      • Accidental Poet

        Thanks Goldie. And what does the Calliope do? Spy on you? ; )

        • Goldfinch60

          No she stares at me in her mystical way when I make an error - I have not seen her smile yet if I get something right!

          • Accidental Poet

            Ask her what would make her smile. ; )

          • orchidee

            A fine write AP. Muses need not be 'spooky', but I don't go along with any spooky sort of stuff with muses.
            On a similar line, I don't think Yin and Yang guide me. And who are they? What are their surnames?! heehee.

            • Accidental Poet

              orchi, I can picture you with a spooky muse. ; )

            • malubotelho

              I love your poem and this verse called even more my attention.

              The Earth is all we have

              Together we must learn to live

              Without borders for love

              May we all learn to give

              It is an appeal for all to save our earth. To live for love is all we need. If you love you don’t want to kill. Thanks for this gem AP

              • Accidental Poet

                malu, you read between the lines very well. ; )

                • malubotelho

                  Yes, I’m always looking in between there.

                • FredPeyer

                  Thank you for this beautiful and inspiring poem, AP! Even though the world is in bad shape, I just have to believe that one day love will prevail!

                  As far as the muse is concerned, it has no gender, it simply IS.

                  • Accidental Poet

                    Thanks Fred, I too want to believe that. And no gender for the muse, got it! I thought so, but was just checking. ; )
