When the Muse Strikes
By Debbie Rubio, High Desert Branch
When do you write?
Is it a discipline or a whim
when the muse strikes?
To listen,
stop and write,
or meander on with life
minding matters important
to your husband or your wife?
Or does time stand still
beyond your will
pen attacks paper
until…
the muse has won!
All is said and done
