Another poem for your delectation this week. The reason for this choice kind of speaks for itself when you read it. I think. Muse Some of my poems are meant to amuse Others are to express the blues Some are in hope that romance woos Some are even fuelled by booze But there's a fallacy I'd like to abuse As it's assumed that I can choose The inspiration that I will use But I know no way to choose a muse What do you mean, what am I thinking about? I'm wondering where I left my clothes! A smile can sometimes light the fuse And start an impulse I can't refuse From a fleeting touch a poem ensues (Some can even come in twos) A word, a phrase, the daily news A sparkling insight as I snooze A niggling thought that festers and stews Can cause the words to flow and ooze So step back now, protect your shoes This isn’t just some elaborate ruse I merely wish to not confuse And at the very most simply bemuse Bear in mind these are only my views I’m looking neither for boos or coos I write down the words so I don’t lose The ability to distinguish between who’s and whose “You’re a hack”, some may accuse And heaven knows there’s many clues But please, I have an ego that’s easy to bruise And my indulgences I ask you excuse For I know no way to choose a muse
I use my intricate drawings to question the relationship between human beings and animals. Humans feel an intense connection to animals, both in the deep bonds we can develop with specific animals and through their symbolic and mythological importance in human cultures.
