Visits from the Muse

I suspect the Muse of planting seeds

because it's a good metaphor for what happens

a germination in my brain growing into Art

After planting an inspiration she flies away

and doesn't sit on my shoulder to dictate

for that's not her job

If I get writer's block it's not my Muse's fault

the ear is sometimes callous

and cannot hear her whispers

But if I pay attention

and nurture the little sprout

it can grow to maturity

These printed words are her fruit

for the pages would be bare

without visits from the Muse

Dale Brabb studied writing at the University of Oregon, achieving a Bachelor of Arts in English. He has previously published two books of poetry, one of fiction, and one book of nonfiction. This book, Visits from the Muse, is a mixture of poetry and memoirs. He does regular readings of his work, with his main purpose being to entertain an audience. Both his poetry and prose use language that is easily understood while at the same time thought-provoking, written with their performance in mind. Mr. Brabb has been performing in public for nearly eight decades, starting at the age of three and continuing to the present day.
