Then Crickit made me think...about racing thoughts
as crickets are persistent in their message what is it to be over inspired
inspiration excessive conscious flow deeper then I am ready for with a raft
most unsteady how will I ever make it a foot in the rapids before me
i do not need of all things a muse taunting me
so I ditch my muse tell my muse to sit right here and wait for me
then I slip off to find my Anti-muse that is my take my thoughts away
from a need to explain that I am still in need of study because i am sure
I can say it better if I just let it return to me as a memory upon reflection
Sort of like a fighter, a person who knows how to fight well doesn't just do battle
constantly however their discipline does not leave them when they are at rest
a poet stuck without a pen an artist in self exile from their canvas to study
the various textures that may alter the perception and even the dimension
of a work that may have been a standard/regular well done but not Wow
when I start out running my regularity there is a zone and the background
this is when pace and technique come into the equation even an abstract
artist needs to study medium (I really should get a dictionary)
a study need not create a big impact on me then I would be para phrasing
but still to avoid common trappings (trite,gratuitous,and self cerebral)
or miss a better perspective that would compliment a poem better.
through study somethings become second nature?A blind musician...
so with what little influence from external studies I made due with current
and present company .
muse and a few friends I met along the way who I can count on to tell me
a better way to say what overcomes me some times,instead of letting me
run so far ahead I miss the scenery,or get a muscle cramp from lack of training
then my muse will see me at her best.
I still like to play hide and seek with my muse and anti-muse
for study I read poems from outside the box and i know where to
find some really Awesome poems...
some that make me think some that create conversation
some that leave little to be said.
if only i had more time at this portal
so as my mind heals and I regain my mind
sharpen my skills,and apply them to a new craft
I hope to keep my muse interested so i might just once
show her what she is worth to me...
then let the constructive,guiding,technical,and generally
challenging people that impress me more then I believed possible
I mean really keeping my attention.
so I will continue to learn to pace myself
because that is how we run together
I run alone some time please do not think me self absorbed
I am only in study.When I seem abstract it may be my muse in an odd mood.
as muses are prone to .
