You Come to Me [1]

Poetry [2]
5.9.17

“I was young when you came to me. / Each thing rings its turn…” begins Meena Alexander’s poem “Muse.” Write a poem of direct address to a muse—any specific object, memory, person, moment, or idea that invokes wonder and reflection. Read the rest of Alexander’s poem [3] for inspiration derived from sensory pleasures, multiple languages, and the associations between words and images.
