A Prayer to My Muse

Give me an idea

A blossom

A light bulb moment

something, anything

to get the words flowing

take a walk

but my supper is in the oven

so walk after I’ve eaten ~

or maybe just say please.

       ~~~~~

There was a single duck ~

grooming itself by the water

plucking through each feather

on chest and under wings.....


Canoes on the sun glimmered lake

~ laughter echoed in time 

to the dip and pull of paddles.....


Ducklings swam in circles, 

no longer fluffy and yellow

but stream-lined, with young brown feathers.

      ~~~~~

Thank you


“The pages are still blank, but there is 

a miraculous feeling of the words being there, 

written in invisible ink and clamouring to become visible.”

~ Vladimir Nabokov
