SOUND THINKING
Rhyme is passe and trite —
I never choose it….
Except for when I write
Poems that use it.
BEMUSED, BOTHERED AND BEWILDERED
Time doth pass in flight
So fast, I think I’ll lose it….
Except for when I write,
And, lost in thought, bemuse it.

In anticipation of someone pointing out that the unabridged sentence of my title from Shakespeare’s Macbeth is “It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.”: mistermuse denies that he’s an idiot (he’s just somewhat unbalanced).
