Notes About The Poem

Do Not Give Chase To a Muse

a poet who has lost his quills ~  no inspiration his muse instills

while waiting for a spark to ignite ~ he is in the dark sans a light

a poet in self-doubt creates chaos ~ do not give your muse a chase

from faded glory, poet arise ~ open your eyes and aggrandize

A fine poem that somehow reminds me of writer's block (which I have right now). Thank you for this insight.

Oh oh, Hilda. Take a walk and you’ll find lots of things to write about. Thanks for your thoughts.

Ha! I totally get this one Lin! And will try take your kind words of advice, how on earth you can write without a muse is incredible, I honestly doubt there is such an entity, I perhaps think of a muse as a conduit to a source of inspiration, which indeed you are, cheers David

Then you know this one was aimed at you. You don’t need a conduit. Just hot wire your mind to your pen. ;-)
