my muses are a treat
they love me and leave me
two have left and the third
is in high wire training
walking on a red line
for thousands of miles is
not for the faint hearted
i see him dangling
from a bright red wire
over outer Mongolia
his taut body outlined
against the green countries
he is not skilled enough
to make it all the way back
he cannot dangle there forever
he will need to sprout wings
become an angel
Love is never far away. It is everywhere in everytime.
ReplyDeleteRemember to look after the bird you have in the bush; and always eat from your best china plate.
I actually wrote for this to lure my former muse Derrick back to the bloggoing world, He has been gone for over a year and is probably languishing stylishly somewhere in a renovated Benedictine Monastery somewhere in Melrose.
ReplyDeleteHe was the best dinosaur catcher on the Plains the area has ever known. A real loss to the community.
Dodo Dude boy..You have to fill big shoes as my muse. I have fingers in all pies..in fact 24 blackbird pie plus a big boofy bush bird.Both previous muses have been Highland dwellers; Derrick and Doc Footsie. Both ran away. Third time lucky I hope:)
ReplyDeleteGasp...so many typos.
ReplyDeleteI hope your muse flies back..by angel wings..or pilot license (or firing up blogger)..Jae
ReplyDeleteMuses do not wear shoes, avoid high wire and are can fly when need arises. It's rude when they do not say "au revoir" but then they have no conception of time.
ReplyDeleteDinosaurs are not always what they seem and, where possible, not be thrown into the back of vans. One, a gentle Tyrant Lizard, taught me about swans and how to sing: "Da-da-di-di da; Da-da-di-di da".
Geez you've gotta good singing voice Dishy Dude!
ReplyDeleteLovely poetry ~ check haiku syllables for this site. HH ~ thanks, namaste ^_^
ReplyDeleteEvery bird has a song which s/he sings exceptionally well. I discovered mine a time ago, then neglected it until I heard the faint call of the blue bird.
ReplyDelete"Dishy Dude"? - are you feeling hungry? Make a call to a local take away.
And remember, Dodo's are unusual. Some say they can change shape and travel in time when necessary.
I knew you thought you were Jesus:)How do I break the news to you kindly?

ReplyDeleteI think I know where it might be too.
ReplyDeleteI think Derrick is still concentrating on his merchant side.
