A New Year Plea

A NEW YEAR PLEA

My muse has left me high and oh so dry,
Just when I needed inspiration, my of my,
New Year in, the old Year out,
What must I do, bewildered, in doubt,
When will my muse return I wail, plead and cry!

Your good deeds will see you in good stead. One day you may even visit NZ and see for yourself how stamps and first Day Covers are fairing in their new surroundings. Be of good cheer, David in NZ

Yup I understand what you say completely Kim- I suppose it is akin to writers block. Best wishes my friend and blessings, Jennifer.

I'm sure many of us can relate to the lack of inspiration described so well in your poem, Jennifer. I feel lucky when I'm inspired to write one poem a month. Really enjoyed the humor! Hugs, Carolyn

Carolyn, how wonderful to have you visit my dear friend. I have really missed you and your wonderful, sincere comments. Thank-you. Blessings, Jennifer.

She will be back. They were seen... Peter Pan's shadow and... at the NY City wild Pizza party. Just collecting new info and fun, for your new year to be extra crazy. Well written as always, even is "muse" is out with him.. You are doing well all on your own this night... God Bless my poetic friend. You are great!!!

I think it is this time of the year and we both needed a rest. Thank-you dear Eve. Blessings, Jennifer.

Your muse is dancing into the new year, Jennifer. May you find joy and happiness in your busy life and in pursuit of poetry.

She probably is my friend. Thanks you for your wonderful wishes dear Vijay, Blessings, Jennifer.

January 4, 2020 at 11:08 AM

Thank-you Rick, you and your poems are an inspiration to many on soup. May you and yours have a blessed 2020. Jennifer

Hello Jennifer … once your head clears of the festivities, chances are the keyboard will be calling to you - thank you Jennifer - Lindsay

Jennifer Proxenos

January 11, 2020 at 11:57 AM

It has already Lindsay. A few nights ago I got up with an idea and made notes of my key words that had popped up suddenly in my head and wrote the poem the following morning. Thank-you Lindsay, I appreciate your comments so much. Blessings, Jennifer.

January 2, 2020 at 9:24 PM

Well, perhaps the clue is in your words, Jennfer: You say that you have been left 'high and dry.' So, expert analyst that I am (LOL!), I deduce that you are smoking marijuana, instead of drinkng wine!! My Rx for you: Hit the bottle, honey! LOL. Seriously, relax, accept everything, count your blessings, and VOILA, the errant Muse will fly right back to you!! Best wishes, Gershon

Jennifer Proxenos

January 8, 2020 at 9:16 AM

LOL LOL I love your comment - I think she has come back as I have only had time today to answer my wonderful comments. Blessings, Jennifer.
