Musing
I loll on the couch
While reflecting creatively,
For hours in the den
As my wife serves iced tea.
Some say –
He’s a snoozer snoozing.
But I say –
I’m just musing.
I contemplate this or that
Pondering my poems today,
Always outside the box
In a novel way.
I stir – a paradigm shift,
Maybe a little word misusing.
But I am project moving
Because I’m really musing.

Recently a friend visited our house and asked me how I got the ideas for my poems. He said, in humor, that I must sit on the couch musing and my wife would bring me iced tea – thus, the motivation for the poem above.
I appreciate you joining me for this little trip down a lighthearted path today.
When we meditate on God’s Word, the Bible, it is really rewarding. That is the best muse of all!
