Poets' Land Options

Poets' Land

Once I would sit with pen in hand
and set aside a little time.
Then send my thoughts to poets' land,
to conjure up a pleasant rhyme.

Was that the poets' Muse I'd hear
As words would form upon my page?
Need I but write her message clear
to free my visions from their cage?

Such marvels would my mind display;
if I could capture but a few!
Yet when my words before me lay,
they did not hold that wondrous view.

So hard I'd strive to grasp a dream,
my words could not embrace,
that all enjoyment it would seem
was lost in fruitless chase.

So now I sit with empty hand
and seek no more that perfect rhyme.
But send my thoughts to poets' land
just to spend some pleasant time.

Hello Maxim~

This is an enjoyable rhyming poem with poetic humor to boot!

Was that the poets' Muse I'd hear

to free my visions from their cage?

Some of my best lines and poems have been written on napkins or my hand for future elaboration!

Great words to ponder!

Best,
