***THE MUSE & ORDER***

She learned from youth on
to mind the dust and
to always clean thus
with order in mind

for every Saturday was time
to take vacuum in hand
with dust rags plenty
to clean with a flurry

let there be no mistake
as the minutes ticked by
no particle of dust
should be left behind

so to this very day
in order to hear her muse
neatness & order will prevail
or havoc of thought pursue

if floors are not cleaned
or dishes washed to put away
her muse will not come
she will wait another day

I have yet decided again to construe my own take on the Wednesday prompt at Jamie Dede’s site https://musingbymoonlight.com/ showing what it is like to be very obsessive/compulsive when it comes to keeping everything neat and in order and still try to write. It is no wonder my muse and I have a bit of a time getting together.

do you look at me through
rose colored glasses
waiting for the
clouds to part in
a display of sunshine

or do you wait cautiously
for the dust to settle
as i pick up the pieces
that fall without
ceremony to your feet

knowing that life cannot
be only black & white
for it is only after
storms the rainbows appear
& love is the tie that binds
