How To Unblock the Muse

HOW TO UNBLOCK THE MUSE


A stiff-penned  young poet from  Soup
His writing  developed  a droop
He  needed his  muse
But used only booze
Wine-o  writing line-o, the dupe 

The words flowed so easy and true
He was better than me  or you
His poem’s   design
Was there in the wine
A heady concoction and brew

He  just epic-ked  and kyrielle’d
And limericked and villanelle’d.
Quatrain or quintain  -
-  Was his  to attain :
His poet’s  ********  excelled
