Calling My Muse

When I call my Muse,

sooner or later, she takes

over the writing.

Like now, I’m just waiting

with these words as bait…

nothing’s happening.

So, I can’t say this is a poem

yet….can you? It’s just words,

waiting, ready to go. Godot?

No, that wasn’t her.

Maybe she won’t show

and you can see how I

write without her…if

there’s anything to her.

“It sounds like a long joke, and

I’m waiting for the punchline.”

What? You’re going to jump in

with a snide remark and then,

just leave?   Thanks a lot!!

You see what I’m up against?

Some call it: “Yourself”.
