I cannot write without inspiration, it must be born in my soul and my mind; but sometimes Muse is on a vacation. There are days of no illumination, it feels like my writing pen has resigned; I cannot write without inspiration. Will I find a theme in a quotation, perhaps after a walk words will be twined; but sometimes Muse is on a vacation. Maybe, insight from an old creation, I will search and search 'til my eyes go blind; I cannot write without inspiration. A dream often gives me an elation, in bed often a sweet theme I will find; but sometimes Muse is on a vacation. Perhaps what I need is some sedation, for when calm my thoughts become so entwined; I cannot write without inspiration, but sometimes Muse is on a vacation. ____________________________ October 5, 2020 Poetry/Villanelle/Imagination Copyright Protected, ID 20-1292-744-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the contest, When There Is No Inspiration contest sponsor, Silent One First Place

Andrea, thanks for the compliment and the congrats, I found this form very difficult to write and it took me hours to make it "make sense" with those two repeating lines _Constance

Sometimes we walk in doldrums and nothing poetic comes to mind, and at other times we have so many thoughts that they begin to jumble together. Congratulations on your winning write, Constance.

This is a brilliant Villanelle, not an easy form. Yours flows so well and is perfect for the theme.. I think all of our muses go on vacation, I think mine is taken by the birds... Congratulations on your first place in the contest..

Hello Constance, it is interesting how you get your ideas. Mine comes from dreams and things that happen in my family. Or looking out a window and else where. Enjoy your day my friend.

Darlene, sometimes, I sit at my desk just holding my pen, ready to write but nothing happens, I seem to be very visual in my writing, inspired by an image, view, quote, or a given theme, thanks for visiting and commenting _Constance
