Deal

Deal

 

 

 

 

a pen driven incessantly

ink blotter like police blotter

aliases uncovered beneath the lines

in between the disguises

themes run concurrently

read its writes

 

we meet under the table at 3 a.m.

now she is my informant

i drink to what i think she is

 

in hopeful arrest.

not a problem sir....

[Dave]

There are many times I bemoan the fact that I didn't respond to the siren of the Muse in the early a.m.
Waking with a idea that I'm sure I'll remember when I truly awake - but alas.............

Take care - Dave

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yep...we wake up in the morning and often it is gone.
thank you, Dave,

You are most welcome!

[Jimmy Yetts]

Clever legalistic word play.
Seems to bemoan inconvenient inspiration--or a prevalence of hardly-worth-the-trouble naggings.
Demonstrates well-polished craftsmanship.

Nice One here, J.
Many fall a victim of this,
Including myself.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i prefer being a victim than having no inspiration at all...so i guess we live with it, don't we?read morei prefer being a victim than having no inspiration at all...so i guess we live with it, don't we?

We do.
My pleasure... J.

[Dave Brown]

I am not too sure what U R up to here possibly because I can't remember the last time I was awake at 3:00 AM to see what goes on in the world (or doesn't)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

some muses just love to wake us up in the middle of the night...and we are helpless....we must abide.
thank you, Dave,

I understand the 3am meeting with Muse all to well,
and you've conveyed this plain and simply. Excellent job!

Bravo!

My pleasure!

I hope you're not too forceful with your muse. I don't know her exactly, but i'll have a drink to you and her later in the day. Maybe our muses can be penpals. Mine needs to get her s**t together metaphorically.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

my muse said yes to the penpal idea...thanks for the smile, CD and enjoy your drink...

Indeed a crime scene here Jacob and we need the forensic specialists in as you pull another allegory out of the hat! As always entertaining and meaningful and masterful!

thank you for your kind words, John,

[Chris Shaw]

Themed writes of a past love. She keeps you awake in the early hours, she keeps you busy with your writing. That blotter copies everything backwards. Not sure I am totally with you on this one?
