{Dear The Swarthy Bard ,

I have come across a poem with a Muse that is more akin to fantasy, and not Greek mythology like I have read about in another poem of yours. "Invalid Item"  starts with this faerie who sighs and seems to be troubled by something. The poem moves on from this and never discovers from that introduction what the Muse could be bothered by.

We have a narrator, the poet, who informs a reader that this Muse actually draws on its inspiration to fuel the poet, who is moved to write in this poem. There are some very descriptive passages of morn and a brook that are visually appreciated by this reader who wants to know how they all tie into the theme.

The poem is impeccably timed with rhythm and flow that make for a lovely read. It is easy to understand the scenes and sequences, overall a narrative that seems omniscient of the Muse's aim. It could also mean, the Muse resides in us. It moves through us, like this writer, and we can feel its emotions.

Just as we can hear an all to knowing sigh, we also feel the passion for writing reside in us. Though, we detach and describe it as a Muse for some reason. That is what old world writer's believed in and wrote about. Traditional poetry like this harkens back to an earlier time. We are discovering the spirit for writing in this way.

I found this poem quite illuminating and an interesting one to study and lend feedback to you about.

Regards,

Brian
