Though I’d vowed to cut my poetry -writing to once a week, Kerry’s wordlist on Instagram was irresistible. I didn’t have the time to write, but my muse thought different- so I’ve written about that.
When caged words lie buried within
a heart that craves nothing but solitude
and the quiet of a moonless world,
a muse pulls on these words
with a force weightier than gravity
Her desire – to watch letters fontificate
across a page dressed in
upper and lower cases
shirking semi-colons
….with no regard for conformity
…….just for the sake of it!

Yes, I know what you speak of here. Like when you go to bed and the words just start rumbling around in your head until you are forced to get up so you can go write them down. Muse’s are a little touchy sometimes if you are reluctant to use what they bring you they cut back on their visits! Really loved your line – “Her desire – to watch letters fontificate” So clever!!
