My Muse

MY MUSE

The dearest friend I have to date

Is my charitable muse

For they will decide the fate

Of which words I will choose

I've learned not to argue with them

And just take their dictation

Although I want to rule my pen

I give in with hesitation

For when I play second fiddle

And they are now presiding

Over a song, poem, or riddle

The finished piece is so exciting!
