This white paper screams at me And I yell back The more I sit here staring at it The worse it gets Where did my muse go to today Down the drain? I think I need some inspiration For this is nothing Not a poem, not a story, just a pathetic lamentation See you tomorrow ;)

Cries and lamentations will not the Muse bring; only inspiration will make the Muse sing. Longing watches the night slip away; patience is beautiful by day. Yes, I will wait for tomorrow; hopefully it will relieve your sorrow. JH

It's probably hiding under the bed....Put on some good music... Preferably something sad... Always gets me going when I get filled with emotion.

I think I might just do that.... First a noisy household with two toddlers during dinner and then sad music, see what will happen. Thanks :)
