Her Muse

 Day-23

NaPoWriMo-2026

Prompt: Today’s prompt takes its inspiration from Kiki Petrosino’s loose villanelle, “Nursery.” Try your hand today at your own take on a villanelle, and have the poem end on a question.

Between the clouds and the water
Lies the world of a dreamer
Where her dreams walk with the muse

In the light of day, and at night
Moves the muse of her thoughts
Between the clouds and the water

Sometimes poetry hides
Sometimes poetry sings
Where her dreams walk with the muse

There are many shades
Suffixed and prefixed
Between the clouds and the water

Words chase the hope
In the waning of seasons
Where her dreams walk with the muse

Serenading, sunrise, and sunset
Poetry gives her life, it seems
Between the clouds and the water
Can her dreams walk with the muse?
