The Muse Has Gone

I think I may write, but of what I am not sure It could a be a love verse or one not so pure I think I would like to write a verse on love and life But it gets so hard and can be full of such strife What can I write for this new one-to-one My thoughts are dried up, and now they are gone The muse she has left me, what am I to do? I will just send these lines, as they are now to you. Please do not judge me, if I get it wrong But this is a breeze, I may now write a song A song of love or a song on what will be will be? Come muse I beg, send a new thought down to me. No I am not there yet, I can’t think of a new one So I give up on this piece that was for the one-to-one. I will do the next one when I know what to say So this is the end of it, I will send this one your way. © 13/01/2013 Contest Entry One To One

The lack of muse amuses, though at times, the lack is not funny at all. Good luck in the contest.

There are a couple of things which will help with writing in meter, most of the forms we are using..use iambic meter all this means is there is and [unstressed {syllable} & a STRESSED {syllable}] so 1 syllables words are obviuosly easier to figure out & usually it is the noun that is emphasized [the CAT] unstressed STRESSED. [unstressed/STRESSED = 1 iamb =metrical foot] [the CAT]

[the RAIN][ in SPAIN] [falls MAIN][ly ON] [the PLAIN]..it has to sound like a clock tick/TOCK, tick/TOCK, tick/TOCK, tick/TOCK, tick/TOCK...so if you can't sing the rain in spain to your line it's probably not iambic meter :)
