Flatline

Here lies the body Of a dead muse; Cranked for two months And blew out a fuse.

(chuckling) It can happen! Believe me! Sometimes I write for days, producing poem after poem after poem. Then, a time will come when I can't come up with a single, decent idea. But, I know I will write again, so I'm patient.

Thanks for the encouragement, yes, I imagine so. I've had long lapses in between bursts. I have been wondering if the same would happen here, but I've been going with the flow, cranking out stuff, probably to the neglect of other things. For about a week now, it has been a real struggle, although there have been a few bright spots.
