I’ve been writing poetry about you on a daily basis. Shalln’t complain, it’s rare to find such undiluted inspiration—- Crisp and fresh, aquamarine -Never such a sight I’ve seen- And never such a sound I’ll hear Sweet laughing waters splashing clear—- Reason comes to stand adjacent, Thinking me to be complacent: “Shouldn’t this a worry be?” She asks, “Your source of poetry?” “Surely you must be possessed—- Or at the very least, obsessed …” “Nay!” I say, and, thanking her, Turn back quickly to the words That burble from the fountain’s head And thus declare my worries dead: For ne’er should Inspiration be refused Regardless of an unexpected Muse—-
