When they visit should they visit expect they might wish to bolt keep them engaged, give them voice these guest who must never leave..... impressive concluding. Visited time and again.
These guests are so unpredictable! And so easy for them to leave hen you wish to hold on to them.......great poem on inspiration.....thank you so much for reading my poem.
Some call it Muse, some hunch, some inspiration, or as you say divinities, but they bring in great messages, of art, poetry, new inventions, ideas, and the like. Great stuff dear poet.
poetic words make the poetic mind sewing the embroidered kantha sometimes inspiration encourages best poems come to us blooming buds.............
All of our poetry, music, songs and all forms of art are already out there in the universe. Our job is to welcome these " divinities" and to spread their message to the world. Another divine poem, M.J.!
Wow! Thank you, Richard. You remind me of 'spreading the net.' Is the writer the fisher of art? Thank you again.
Excellent! As long as the inspiration is recognized! Yes, hang in. Thank you, LeeAnn.
I like your very novel and original take on inspiration! It sounds like it is about inspiration making a call on Poe or Stephen King! Or maybe I feel darkness because it is 2: 15 in the morning and the wind is howling and the house is creaking. I give this a 10 and a spot on my fav list cuz it's a jewel of a poem
Thank you so much, Susan. Yes, I was thinking of Lenore when I first drafted a version of this some time ago. Inspiration is both dark and 'light'....I tried to make the dark shine through.
They do not stop as they ring the doorbell. The beauty of inspiration they feel. This poem is very interesting and amazingly penned. They should get back the voice and visit.10
Indeed, Kumarmani...They ought to visit often. Thank you so much for reading.
Kumarmani, So very much appreciated!
