Mikka Mi Amor                 Bones Kendall

I get my inspiration from a muse.
“You’re so corny, that’s a ruse,”
She said, making me turn red.
She’s right, you know,
But I do hear voices in my head.
I draw on life for inspiration.
I notice things, like perspiration.
“Oh, no, not another lame line,”
She said–she’s so smart.
But I need to practice to refine.
Inspiration often comes to me
From above. “Cheesy, cheesy,
Try again,” she gently chided.
I'm not afraid, I'm a fool,
For to put my soul in verse I decided.
What can I say, what can I do?
She said “Just to yourself be true.”
And so I will keep on going,
Looking up, down and around–
Seeking inspiration, but never knowing.
