A Writer's Muse


Outside a toilet stop somewhere in Czechoslovakia

For me to be a writer
They say I need a muse.
"It will make you write better."
So how can I refuse?

"A muse is like an engine
That drives the words from you –
As if it is pump-driven."
I don’t know if that’s true.

They say to write good poetry
I must know all the rhymes;
Use meters, imagery
And metaphors at times.

I wonder what about those
Perplexing and peculiar two
Things known as free verse and prose?
Are they not poetry too?

I now know writing better
Is well within my reach;
I must tie that muse with a tether
And nab those figures of speech.
