What Kerry said, + I wonder what Neil Gaiman would do with this idea--there's a world of muses parallel to and in communication with this one who resent us using their stuff as our own OR who feed us their stuff and snigger while we use it. Remember what he did in American Gods? (I am aware that compared to these ideas, the muse in your poem is an everyday occurrence. I wish I trusted mine more not to want to embarrass me.)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174947457823680382.post-22448021918132790892012-11-14T22:47:55.102-06:002012-11-14T22:47:55.102-06:00This is cleverly wicked AND you wrote it so fast. ...This is cleverly wicked AND you wrote it so fast.

So many times I have wondered when someone will catch on that I am just pretending to be a poet! You raise a very valid question about originality too. After 7 centuries of English verse, can there be anything new under the sun?Kerry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720862912375945249noreply@blogger.com
