A Conscious Wisp of Vapor
An ethereal thing
imagination.
Scraps of moments floating
about one’s mind.
Waiting… Wandering
Meaningless,
until a muse sparks them
to intertwine and spawn
primordial poetic flames.
This timeless game she savors,
To birth something unusual.
A conscious wisp of vapor
from a snuffed candle.

Exploring the World of Fiction
reflections, ponderings, daydreams, musings
A blog to inspire the insecure writer in all of us
The musings of a curious mind
Oh, the twisted stories to come.
Since so many other online writers have blogs dedicated to their writings, I’ve decided to jump onto the bandwagon. All posts published here will be either fiction or poetry, some new, and some previously published on various places on the Internet. Some of my works are conventional, and some are quirky. All fiction posted here, except for fan fiction, will include the letters "rose" somewhere, as a tribute to my Baba.
Ups and down everyday, let us make dailyliving normal.
Or not, depending on my mood

I love the idea of the muse “spawning” something. 😉 For some reason, for me that conjures visuals of tadpole to pollywog, to frog. The whole process. Love that.
Delightfully close to my heart with the frog observation! The little devils will slip right through your fingers too. Not unlike hanging on to a muse. Thanks! 😉
Beautiful potion-like performance. Your muse sounds magical and smart.
Thanks so much! ❤
You’re welcome. 💜
Ooooo, loving this!
🙂 Much appreciated, Carol.
I really love your metaphor here, Susan. Such a great image of inspiration!
Thanks very much. 🙂
You are welcome!
Beautiful, Susan – simply beautiful. (also, I’ve gotta ask- what’s with the eggplant? 😉 )

Can you imagine a better example of unusual? 😀 Thanks, David.
😁
To birth something unusual, yes. No two poems are ever alike. And the muse knows… lovely. thanks for sharing.
Thanks. It’s amazes me how endless and unique inspirations are. 😀
This is lovely! I love the idea of spawning “primordial poetic flames.” 😀
Thank-you. A new idea always seems like a flame to me. 🙂
I like the metaphor you chose, of the candle, very much. (And I just *had to* click on a name like sillyfrog!)
😀 Thanks so much! I think the name has a ‘jump out at ya’ quality. Happy to meet you!
As Fireblossom says, the metaphor works really well, well-executed and a great visual. Good to meet your work.
Much appreciated! I ‘hop’ on and off this site and I am always excited to find new artists too. 😀
Wonderfully original imagery.
Very much appreciated!
Love the way you describe it as a candle and it makes me think of “candle in the wind”
Thank-you, Bjorn. That image of a wisp of smoke came out of nowhere. It was generated by my feeling.
I like the muse here as a fire starter.
Mine seems to fizzle sometimes. 😉 Thanks!
