Conversation With The Muse
An abecedarian poem
A new prompt; Muse! What’s your insight?
Better just write.
Clearly, what should it entail?
Dainty detail.
Each work should, how about flowers?
Florid flowers.
Good lord you muse, by the powers!
How vague a thought you’ve given me!
I’ll have to try; I’ll have to see…
Just write dainty details of florid flowers:
———
“Kaleidoscope colors of spring
Lillie’s teetering
Marvelous pinks and whites and gold
Nasturtiums unfold
Orange sunspots where the sun shines
Parading lines
Quiet along walls where ivy winds
Reflections in the babbling stream
Send senses to a somber dream
Teetering nasturtiums unfold parading lines.”
———
Understand? The form’s an “Ovillejo”
Very nice
What did you think of the poem?
Xerox that one
You think I’ll win this one? What’re my odds?
Zero
