for Line's BiteSize Contest no101

with senses dulled, I'm unaware no breeze can rouse my will to care the muse escaped through fingers splayed I mourn as no more poetry's made blank pages stacked, a ready pen alas, I fear, I'll never write again

That last line is possibly every poet's worse nightmare Dilly, I have experienced it so many times, so now when it happens I embrace it for what it is, (a worse case scenario :) don’t overthink a musey bluesy patch, cheers David

Thanks David, I feel like my powers have been switched off when I look at a piece of art (or random debris of any kind that used to make my mind whirr), unfortunately trying harder has the opposite effect. It's happened a couple of times before, maybe I'll threaten myself with embroidery as a hobby again :) thanks for your wise words

I don't think that the ink has dried yet, Dilly, just in case when you're tired and gone to bed "What's written is set in stone" your poetry shall be read, even when all else in you has been said. ;)

I find the title so cute! And i know this feeling so well. I think long time ago i wrote about it too, how i fear i might not be able to write again, its usually when im numb… so i feel this poem deeply and youv expressed so well. And the good thing is that youve expressed yourself so well here, and also the rhymes are so sublime. I especially love “ no breeze can rouse my will to care the muse escaped through fingers splayed” so creative how youve written about sleeping muse! Best wishes! I wouldnt be able to write like this when my muse abandons me. Its brilliant!

Hopefully I'm just too busy to catch up with myself and that just writing starts something off. Thank you for your upbeat appraisal :)

I enjoyed reading your creative "musey bluesy" write. You will write again. Your muse just needed some time off. Mine goes on vacation from time to time. Hahaha!!! No Fear here just "Good Luck" on this one until you write again...Have a blessed day/weekend writing away.....................
