Maybe muse isn't the right word, but he is a pest who continues to torment you until you write something he wants. I love your imagination. The music is subtle, but gets the point across nicely. Thanks again for sharing another of your wonderful poems. Sweet dreams. LOL

    Thanks, Linda, and I was hoping the music wouldn't overpower the poem. That's always a concern when doing multimedia presentations, getting them all to work together seamlessly. Your encouraging review puts my mind at ease.

It seems as though you tap into the deepest regions of the subconscious. Sounds very nightmarish. But at least you have a counter attack with your pen. I wouldn't want to be led around by anything or anyone. Would like to read your dark poetry. I wish that I could scare your muse away!

    Thanks, playinaround. I have managed to scare him away a few times, but he always comes roaring right back. So, I just learn to deal with him as best I can.

    I sincerely appreciate your stellar rating and kind comments, my friend.

Yes very scary and indeed must disturb your sleep something awful. I have to admit it disturbs my wake time! Very well done poem and particularly the last verse I thought was a great conclusion, Giddy

Crazy disturbing:) I'm too big of a scaredy cat to read all your stuff, but I made it through this despite the gory gif. As always the lines flowed perfectly as your story unfolded. Your muse does sound like a pain in the arse:). But I think most of them are, maybe yours is just a little more manic, maybe you feed him too much:)

Hi Dean. Oh yes, this is my muse
as well...perhaps they are family...I think my muse is androgynous and drags me along the floor at 3 in the morning...my dog moans, my partner mumbles and hides under the blankets...
his is so well written and presented...and well...deserves a six or a ten...

What an interesting poem Dean, I can see where you get your " Edgar Allan Poeness" from! I loved this muse, it speaks of things that plague all those who have chosen " imagination " to rule their lives, I don't have the same " muse dweller" as you, but I have to write, identifying with Jeremiah the prophet with his " fire in the bones" I loved this work, it was articulate, inventive, imaginative and the great rhyme scheme which kept the meter
" humming" well done, blessings, Roy.

Dear Dean,

Your muse has foul breath and reeks of decay. Happiness and joy never enters his head only gloom and evil occupy him instead. Be gone I say help me not for you are Satan bred, but he laughs and tilts his head and says F-you.

How did you like my book?

Warm regards,

Winslow

    Ha ha, thanks, Winslow. I appreciate the entertaining review, my friend.

    As far as the book, I've never received it. I did give you my correct mailing address, right? I thought I had. Anyhow, it has never gotten here.

I am thoroughly creeped out. I don't even think creeped is a word.Ok> You gave me chills. I wouldn't want to live with your muse.

In other words, your muse is a slave driver. Liked the idea that he makes you come up with the ideas yourself. This is another masterpiece of perfect blending of visual art, poetry and music.

....I love this...crazy...and perfect Dean Style! The picture at the end of this is just haunting. A wonderful and provoking poem. You give such an horrific presentation. What I really love is how..creepy, relentless, and dominating your muse is...he is a beast...isn't he..Bwhahahahah...
