Just a Poem
A chapter in the book Creepy Poems
Mind Your Muse
by Treischel
Mind your Muse
(Just a Poem) I never know What my Muse
Might soon produce Or the time The silent Shrike
Will suddenly strike The time's unknown When life's delay
One more day Works left Incomplete Is far worse
Than a curse So get going You might write
Through the night Or you'll find Your body still
On cactus quill |
A Shrike is a bird known to impale its prey on a cactus. Mythology has evolved an evil spirit as an impaler in the artwork above. I think of a poet without inspiration as a little mouse in the dessert scurrying about for sustenance. Watch out for shadows in the sky!
