Here is another Poetry month daily prompt site. It is from Donna L. Sadd. Her suggestion today is to write a poem about the muse.
Well, mine is strange. When it comes to mythology, I can’t help considering the thoughts of Jung. Early poets and artists were usually men, and the muses are female all three or nine of them. (Often, real women filled those roles for artists, Sometimes, they even did some of the work and didn’t get credit for it.) I wonder whether the concept of a muse applies to female writers. Certainly, every artist enters the realm of something Freud called the unconscious, when time disappears and something else takes over. For me, this is a place/space rather than a person. Your thoughts?
#AprilPrompts – Day 2 – Muse – #NaPoWriMo | Donna L Sadd.
Muse
Nine-sistered
shadow
side of men,
splintered
daughter of
Mnemosyne,
goddess
of memory,
and Zeus,
master of Olympus,
or a group
gathered
by Osiris
to seed
civilization
in its wake,
one and many,
on the wings
of their pet
Pegasus,
they pull an
alternate progeny,
children of
image and
story, to rival
hungers
of blood.
One Way to Wonder 
Thought provoking opening, and marvelous take on the prompt Linda. I agree, it’s more of a space in time where the words, like a fountain, flows. However, a muse was sent to me today, and I’m eager to ‘experience’ her kind help, though I have no idea what to expect-even whether I should expect a thing.
Thanks for the poem and your thoughts. My muse has seldom been a person, if ever. It has often been a place or music. I’ll be re-reading this poem!
