mighty shy muse (edit)
#5
Hi vagabond. Smile


mighty shy muse                                  does mighty describe the shyness of the muse or is the muse mighty?
                                                                                                      the first L seems to be contrary to the title

lousy little underweight muse                 a poet is struggling
feral furry creature of blues                    I only think of cats when I think feral
come, cutie, I´m too obtuse                  a beckoning with a warning, or sarcasm?
 
sticky sentences disrupted                      seems the muse is responsible for this list stanza...
picky issues well neglected                      
icky words again retracted                       
 
trembling you tend to the dark                since when do poets judge their muse?
my stories are short-lived like sparks         this line lacks balance
at least obvious lies you´ll distort              I know since it's not an outline you cannot give an example or elaborate
 
send us Thorn to fly astray,                       I understand this all to well, though never associated it with a muse.
bend and burn the rules away,                  do muses have rules?
mend the dreams, let chaos reign              this line speaks of temptation
 
freedom moves never in marches.             no, but marches might be a form of freedom
dragons? not for those who fear torches… not sure about this one.
again, your voice faded, I´m searching.      I feel like the poem needs another stanza.




The poem seems to be about the frustration of a poet caused by the lack of cooperation of the muse, but then it seems the narrator is speaking for all poets, or many poets, (us). I'm not sure a muse and a thorn in the side are the same, but I suppose it has always made good/myserious metaphor.

 
All the best,
nibbed
there's always a better reason to love
