One of the pearls of wisdom from the school of hard knocks
says that art for art’s sake is a sticky proposition.
But, you create art for the love of it; it permeates
your skin, infecting every cell and burrowing straight
to the bone. Charge your muse and call upon
the poet gods to spark your filaments with the light
of many great ideas. Clear the air,
and just beware that you don’t soil the linen!

THROUGH THE EYES OF A POET'S HEART 
LOL! Don’t soil the linen. You do make me laugh. 😀
Thanks Marilyn. I had all the words in but “linen” and that line was all that came to me. Instinct always seems to know, doesn’t it?
I am with Misky. I got a chuckle out of that, Walt.

Glad to supply the chuckles, Pamela. Now, I’m gonna claim that line as pure intentional! 😀 Thanks for that.
Oh I ‘m so calling on the gods to spark with new ideas. Love it Walt. 🙂
I’ll send one of my muse gods right over Veronica. We spread that spark around! Thanks for popping in.
Me thinks we were on a similar wave-length until we hit that word linen, Walt. I like your poem, straight shooting and direct. With just that touch of humor that seems to be part of your trademark. Very enjoyable read,
Elizabeth

You use the prompt words very well! I too enjoy the turn at the end. 🙂
Watch next week. One good turn deserves another! 😉
Nice finish 🙂
Dad was a carpenter. I learned nice finishes from the master!
Ah, but sometimes soiled linen is well worth investigating. he he he…. I love the playful tone the ending imparts.
One thing to remember Brenda. When you dance with me, the movements are fluid, but you never know when I’m going to dip. Thanks for the encouragement.
Reminds me of the joke that the monk didn’t know how to spell celebrate so he wrote ‘Thou shall be (joyously) celibate… sort of an oxymoron that…
I went dark with my non-story verse.

The response to the monk joke is “I’ll do it, but I won’t be happy about it!” Thanks for stopping Jules.
Maybe soiling the linen is the best bit..sometimes a little recklessness can be good..
Interesti8ng, but not sure good! 😉 It remains to be seen anyway!
Love this one, Walt!
