A Poem by Janet Rice Carnahan

MUSIC OF THE MUSE

 

Snow . . .

           Falling

                       Falling

                                   Falling

                                   Flying

                           Flying

                Flying

Birds . . .

Stream . . .

             Flowing

                          Flowing

                                       Flowing

                                       Growing

                           Growing

                Growing

Plants . . .

As life sings and breathes in the sweet balance of harmony,

The muse . . .

Has the chance

          To    s                     e

                   M             L

                         I 

 

                               And dance!

 

A twenty year career in early childhood education, taught Janet there is nothing more creative in this world than the mind of a five year old! Creativity is always a wonder in motion. Children understand free form in movement, motion and speech. Poetry offers a natural flow, enhancing that innate sense of freedom. Living in Laguna Beach, California, Janet is surrounded by artists, writers and photographers, all blending fresh creativity with the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. Her poems have been published in an anthology, “Prompted: An International Collection of Poems”, 2011, “Pyrokinection” and “Jellyfish Whispers”,both online poetry sites, June 2012. One of Janet’s favorite quotes is, “Creativity is just the intellect having fun.” (Author unknown) Indeed it is and may the joy of it never end!
