UNFATHOMABLE MUSE
Delicate dancing sylph
Elegant fairy queen

LIGHTLY FELT TIPS
When you learn to distinguish
between what is truly good in poetry
(especially your own)
and what is – shall we say – not so good
then you are almost there.
The rest is just practice, daring,
risk taking and self confidence.
Satisfying yourself is the foundation.
Rules are there to follow or break;
pleasing others a welcome bonus.
So leave the back door wide open
and invite the Musey Lady in for a brew.
She loves to take a load off.
If she’s silent, it’s only ‘cos she’s thinking.
She’s just observing, sipping her tea.
Mysterious Manifesto
MYSTERIOUS MANIFESTO
In memoriam: Leos Janácek
A wandering madman
Mistrustful and reserved
Unrequited passion
And informal divorce
Consider this I beg
The unfinished diary
Of one who disappeared
To the house of the dead
Special Delivery: Four By Six
SPECIAL DELIVERY
Sit back and let it be.
Recite, “Aware, aware.
Relax, relax.”; await
till the muse delivers.
