Earthly Muse

Homer had his demigods,

Milton and Dante their heavenly muse,

but my muse is bound to this earth.

She prefers chocolate to nectar,

perfume to incense,

guitar riffs to hymns

and comic books to epic poetry.

Now if only my earthly muse

would learn to throw wisps of cloud

rather than sharp rocks.

My mind can't handle much more abuse.
