If a man decided to pick a fair muse,
Why would I be the one he’d choose?
If onto my heart his love he poured,
I wouldn’t know how to be adored.
For all the words whispered in my ear,
His reasons for love would remain unclear.
Please note: this is not written for anyone particular. I have been reading a lot of John Keats recently and was inspired by one of his poems to try a different style. The key to reading this piece is to read it slowly and let the words sink in. I hope you enjoy my style experiment. 😊

Lamia has a sad ending, perhaps read ‘Bright Star’ (again if you haven’t already), it’s considered his most romantic.

Good one. Appreciate your honesty as you clarify and credit inspiration.
A flip version to this
If man were to pick muse,
Why should i let him choose
He shall pour his fantasies in me,
Only to withdraw art dipped in my grace,
Leaving a simple heart like a winding maze….😉
