Gratitude List for 15 Kamál

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn this morning.
          ...for the chocolate brownie I had to go with my coffee this morning.
          ...that I have 687 points in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for the chocolate milk I had with my breakfast this morning.
          ...that I have $34.07 in my Vindale Research account.
          ...that I have 63,200 in my YouGov account.

Poet's Intuition1

Sometimes,
a poet has to follow her intuition
in writing an ode.

Is a poet's intuition
her muse?

I can't answer that question,
because there a times
when I call it my muse
and other times I call it
intuition.
