Description
No poems today
No poems today
no sign of the muse
there are pencils galore
but no words to use.
So it’s brew up the teapot
munch honey on toast
no one can reproach her
she’s only a ghost.
Yet I love her brief visits
the silk of her touch
though she doesn’t stay long
and never says much.
She reminds me of you
not just her sly look
she guided the hand
that started this book.
