P is for Pensee - Poetic Muse


 Poet
Patient Artist

Regally poised, pen in hand
Clear mind that is free of clutter
Come now elusive muse

This form is called a Pensee Poem. A modern form with syllable count 2-4-7-8-7 but further line 1 is the subject, line 2 gives description, line 3 action, line 4 the setting, line 5 a final thought.

  1. I like this but what I like the most is that the person is ready for the inspiration to come not doing other things but sitting with pen in hand. This is so important for our work. Often I find inspiration doesn't come until I am at the keyboard ready to go. Great job.

  4. It must be my cluttered mind that keeps me from being a poet!
