Enemies of the Sonnet Man- the Muse (Part Four)

Circumstances between me and The Muse Soon ran into some technical problems, But I did not have the power to choose The best way to successfully solve them. I shared my poetry like a "sub-let," Then she started to criticize my rhymes. I did not react, but changed the subject, Trying to make lemonade with a lime. I soon learned that she would not be a friend, Instead, she chose the role of a fighter, Whose response to "When can we meet again?" Was, "When you become a better writer!" This statement came across as being bold, And also came across as being cold.
