"When There is No Muse" (mini poem)

For whom does one write
when there is no muse
What good is a story
if not to share your views

Muhammad finds penicillin
in a nasty bit of mold
So surely in this wretched soul
lies some spot of gold

Tears are wasted on the floor,
it doesn't want them anyway
Better to take a deep, sad breath
and hope for a better day.


Note:  Muhammad Ali said, "When they can make penicillin out of moldy bread then they can sure make something out of you."
