Poetry: The muse

by David Mullen

Created on: July 03, 2008

Crow



Lotta Crow in poetry
Skipping, cawing, feathering about
In 13 incomprehensible mythical classical ways
But Nevermore I say.

Crow's a conceit
Lives like we live, where we live
Omnivorous, omnipresent
Slick a black beak and bead eyes

Crow on the roof of my car
Looking at me,
Mirror and me looking back

Damn but he knows something:

Poetry a conceit
So am I
He thinks I owe him
And I do

He's a cheap Muse.
So here are more lines
Full of Crow.
