abuseI think that amusing poetry is pretty rare. The truly funny stuff that doesn’t waver into deep/dark emotion recesses by the end; that’s a rarity. I liked how you spoke of her (your conscious) as a woman. I’m seeing one of those female statues on the prows of ships back in the Viking era’s and such; you let her take on a holy iconic role. I have to confess that I don’t have much communication with mine now a days either.

“she found me/wandering, handfuls of apostrophes and/mouthfuls of wine that smell of glue” - I love the handfuls of apostrophes and wine that smells of glue. Glue is not that flattering, it leaves a strong emotional taste in my mouth.

“Fingers of words attached/to everything” - Love that.

“Lightly dusted with ideas” - I love this line, it’s just about my favorite in the whole poem. I can completely relate. When I was younger (and I say younger liberally) I used to be so full of idea’s and inspiration, and I would write about everything that anything that I could just turn on my poetic process with a two second notice. Now, though, it’s completely different, I don’t write as much as I used to. I’m much more careful with what I say and why I say it. The little things are beautiful to me, but I can’t create a whole poem from them like I used to. Maybe a few lines at most, and you know me, I’m all about the five hundred word poems. To be lightly dusted with idea’s, that’s me at this very moment in time.

“She's just a source of amusement/and the only clear exit.” - I laugh at the power tip now a days. There’s nothing out there that can control me, yet, you need balance and control to get out of the situations that not giving a ** about anything put you in.

Really enjoyed this creation, and sorry that it took me so long to review it. I have a whole bunch of excuses but what do they matter to an artist like yourself. So how are you? Doing well I hope. Keep up the good work.

Much love,
Juliet.

abusem i really like this especially the first stanza. that just really stuck in my mind (haha like glue, i know i make corny jokes that only i laugh at) and the last stanza - i think writing is a sort of escape or at least temporary distraction from the craziness of life. nice work.

btw, i wanted to ask you...do you have facebook? i don't think it's as popular over there.

abuseThis has a lot of layers. I hate that phrase because it sounds phony, but it's true in this case. I like the amusing muse/poetry bit and the muse's expressions that, like the moon, changes nightly. And how the process of writing, or inability to, is described -- getting inspiration from random things like registration plates, but at other times the muse doesn't speak. And "the NIB of any pen would stutter so/much," that was my favorite bit.
