The muse is awake
seducing potential poetry.
But my brain, lacking, quakes
and quacks instead,
attacking bits of bread with
beaks which can't even speak
beautifully enough,
nor carry a rose between teeth
as offering to the throne
of the good goddess.
Another poem to atone for time
in the miracle of a lie.
I like the good natured
I like the good natured modesty of this poem, but I doubt your brain lacks anything. It certainly has an abundance to verbal talent, as your poems obviously, but not ostentatiously, demonstrate. A rose in the teeth is not nearly as good an offering to the Muse as this poem is; or any of yours.
Starward
Poetry as Atonement
now, that's a thought! :D
