The MUSE

The MUSE dwells in the subconscious accumulating and processing all experience. The MUSE plays the role of creator of much art, music, and poetry. When the conscious mind is open, the MUSE gushes to the surface exposing its creation often without special effort by the writer.

Many of the poems in Poet in our Midst came about in this manner. The poems were influenced by a variety of experiences amongst family, friends, acquaintances, or events. They are humorous, romantic, philosophical, and political expressions that are part of my life.

The writing of these poems has been a journey that I wish to share with you, the reader. I trust while reading them you will be entertained, enlightened, and inspired. Thank you for peering into my inner-sanctum, I urge you to peer into your own.
