-Missing Muse

I cannot write a poem no matter how hard l try

Which is frustrating to no end

My Muse has left the building

I no longer call her friend


We are not on speaking terms

As on her l cannot depend

I am advertising for another

Can anyone recommend?

Your "Missing Muse" is a fun write/read. I enjoyed it. Recommending.... Maybe your muse went on a much needed vacation for a rest. Mine does that from time to time. Did you put a wanted sign out??? Hahaha!!! Have a fun day/week writing away............

I'll apply. I can whisper in your ear, and you can tell me to hush and stop trying to be your muse. lol You don't need a muse, Deb... just write what you see, feel and let the ink flow.
