Written for Creative Bloomings #161, “Highly A-Mused”
Today, write a poem describing what your muse looks like. Give it a name, a face, physical characteristics. Breathe life into your muse, and it will stick around and serve you well!
Wrapped in layers of lilac-
printed silk shawls that drape
in folds to the floor,
she is Ariana, a vision,
illusive, ethereal. Sea-scented,
smoky black hair, waves
down her back, where
a hint of a green
fin is sometimes visible.
As a mermaid, she encourages
me to explore other worlds,
allowing all possibilities
limited only by the stretched
canvas corners of my imagination.
