she wishes
she could fix her muse,
air her out in clothes-pinned
sunshine, breeze away these blues.
perhaps she’ll braid her
through dragonclouds
or button her to the moon.
here, won’t you glue
her brittle-broken pieces,
shake them loose,
fasten her
to a star.

It’s Quadrille Monday over at dVerse, and I’m hosting. Come play!

Nice one… words can take us places, when trying to escape. . .
Beautiful De. Please clothes-pinned me in sunshine or button me to the moon!
I enjoyed the imagery of the first attempted fix for a muse as hanging the washing and letting the breeze do the work.
This is the kind of thing I read and think “Why couldn’t I think of that!” Great write!
Definitely know that feeling. Thanks for the great poem
Open, vulnerable, and receptive, a beautiful poetic rendering, De.
delightfully whimsical … love the idea of dragonclouds!
a good place for a muse I think (K)
I like the thought of hanging her on the clothesline to “breeze away these blues”.

Try on whatever that can help. Things can turn out to be all bad sometimes.

Lovely quadrille.
A wonderful Quadrille! Love this line…
air her out in clothes-pinned
sunshine
I think yours is already up there.
Good golly, this is gorgeous. Especially the braided through clouds couplet.
“air her out in clothes-pinned” … I love how this line sounds like your muse is being fitted for a dress. ❤ I’m picturing you safety-pinning the fabric around her body, adjusting the hem and such.
Oh yes… but sometimes a poet has to verse himself to mud and ash.
Oh my, i luv all the wishes for your muse.
Thanks for dropping by to read mine De
Much💙love
I love the title, De, and the thought of airing out my muse ‘in clothes-pinned
Sunshine’ or buttoning her to the moon. Nice rhyming too!
A lovely poem … (try a male muse?)
I think you found her.
Hope the glue holds
I so relate to this!
Very sweet – liked very much.
Oh wow, I picture her muse as a little floppy doll that just needs some extra attention. Nice one!!
Excellent words, De! ‘Air her out in clothes-pinned sunshine’.
Delightful. Thank you for sharing.
Truly lovely.
