Poor Muse 2

by Mary Ellen Smith

Today was one of those soft days that come about in winter.
Blankets of snow warm the hills above the house.
I thought for a moment my Muse would come to the window
to instigate a snowball fight.
But he is nowhere to be found.

Alas poor Muse, I had every intention of inviting him in for tea.

I'd say the muse sneaked into the kitchen while you were not looking! A very pleasant read. (Snow is alas much, much closer here--like blocking the doors!)

After reading and thoughtful musing. Very good poem Mary....Charlie

I'm going to agree with Que on this one. Muse probably stole the tea and ran out with it. It will be back to taunt you! I really like this.
