Poetry: The muse


Inoculate the species with a serum from above,
a guaranteed elixir filled with love.
Things are out of sequence in the highlands and the border;
now it's time to get our house in order?

Let everybody gather at the clinic in the sky,
make sure that every person does comply.
And when they leave the clinic with a smile upon their face:
a new beginning for the human race.

I know this sounds simplistic and I may be quite the fool,
but I will keep on breaking every rule,
until I see some changes in the attitude of man
and this I'm sure you all can understand.

So gather all together and let's make reality-
a loving thing that everyone can see.
This serum is provided by the muses in the sky,
who say to man "just give it one more try."

We know there's no rejection just perfection that's sublime-
that's what the gods have promised every time.
So contact every country in the world that doesn't know
and tell them that the serum's running low.

When this thing is over and we all can smell the flowers,
countries will be equal in their powers.
No one picks a conflict or can find a single season
for a war no matter what the reason.

Some say that I am crazy and the gods don't even care
and some may say the gods aren't even there.
But listen to the muses who are floating in the air;
yes, listen to the muses if you dare!

    all my words died this morning,
    they sucked all the poison and
    turned into nothing.
    and now they're haunting me...

    by Carol Gioia

    The muse never failed
    and now she is dead.
    No more to inspire
    the thoughts in my head.

    From whence will come

    by Sarah Terzo

    Dark days in my dusty studio
    my vision cobweb-choked,
    rank reek of smoke.
    Amber leaking bottles tipped
    on the stained thin rug.

    I

    Did you ever know
    You are my muse
    Even though you left me
    Battered and used
    Did you ever know
    I got saved
    Using the light
    You freely

    Log shards under
    maul's blow

    (I feel the edge
    split my skull,)

    until rhythm and steel and
    sharp tang of riven oak
