When the Muse Strikes

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
