Lost muse

Sometimes I wonder
Why are some poem's read.
There seems to be a disparity
is it something that I said.

A seed of poetry is all I need,
But being dyslexic I find.
It's very hard to read, Although,
in reality that is what I need..

To find that muse that's escaping me.
That helps me write poetry,
That sweeps the clouds away
In the eternity of my life.

Sometimes I've borrowed a word,
Or maybe the odd one or two.
Occasionally I've borrowed a line,
To put in a poem of mine.

When I've read between the lines,
I found other poet's do this all the time.
Found whilst reading this is true,
If it's good for the gander,
Then it's good for me and you.
