POETRY MUSE
his long suffering
poetry muse
thickly clad in
protective clothing
heavy leather gloves
steel trident
herded in
with difficulty
her latest offering
a fearsome brute
a vicious villanelle
and left it there
well-meaning
as a kind gift
but it turned nasty
slavering drooling
it attacked bit
overpowered him
he woke later
in intensive care
deeply scarred
also sadly having
lost his silver pen
and favourite old
leather notebook
