Invocation of the Muse
Here’s to the Catalysts,
To those who keep the embers
of our souls burning when they
almost
fall
to
ash
or rather, set the forest aflame
with their unforgettable flint

Very nice. ❤️
This is very good!
Beautiful gem!
Ahhhhh:
“ set the forest aflame
with their unforgettable flint”
Very nice – the form of “C” is special, too.
I agree with the Nancy on the use of a capital C — feels like Catalyst is a deity or at least an entity. Every darn word earns its keep in this poem. Love it!
Thank you so much for sharing this poem.
Love this use of form!
Beautiful.
Lovely allusion to the muse. Such admirable craft, Danielle. Flows smoothly, engaging me with rhythmic pattern.
