Amuse The Muse



Amuse The Muse
By Robert T. Davenport

In a world of shadows, where darkness prevails,
A muse appeared, with stories to unveil.
With words that danced, and emotions so true,
I amuse the muse, that amused you.

In the depths of despair, where hope seemed lost,
The muse whispered softly, and sadness was tossed.
With verses of courage, and strength to renew,
I amuse the muse, that amused you.

Through trials and tribulations, we journeyed as one,
The muse by my side, till the battle was won.
With lyrics of love, and dreams to pursue,
I amuse the muse, that amused you.

In moments of doubt, when faith was unclear,
The muse sang a melody, to banish the fear.
With rhymes of resilience, and wisdom to imbue,
I amuse the muse, that amused you.

With each word written, a connection was made,
The muse touched your heart, as the verses conveyed.
With emotions unleashed, and spirits anew,
I amuse the muse, that amused you.

So let us embrace, this poetic delight,
Where the muse and the poet, intertwine in the night.
With passion and fervor, our souls will pursue,
I amuse the muse, that amused you.

    This poem is a success of form, content, and substance. Out of bad situations something good, marvelous emerges.
    It is to be admired the rhyme-scheme and the good flow of the lines that go quite well with the poetic language that is exhibited form start to end.
    Good read!

    So delightfully musically lyrical. Should be sung and accompanied by harp.

    Ahhh such bliss! This is fantastic in every way. And I completely and utterly understand. I am grateful to read something that connects in a far more personal manner than I expected it would. Oh how I love the "I amuse the muse that amused you" that line in itself, feels like falling in love, or at least to me it does. Quite gifted you are. Please don't ever stop. Thank you for this! God bless you, my fellow poet.
