Deb M Poet Rhyme

-My Muse And Vavoom Are Missing

My Muse has gone…. taking my Vavoom along

To enjoy a holiday by the sea

They crept away in the dead of night

Without any thought of me


My mind is now blank without my Muse

My motivation nil with no Vavoom

Each day l hope for their safe return

Yet their returning ….l can only assume


I feel frustrated and empty without them

We have been besties for such a long time

I desperately miss my  Muse and Vavoom

As without them l can no longer rhyme!

Jerry Brotherton January 13, 2026 at 4:53 PM Just keep pounding the keys, my friend. Maybe try a list of curse words, probably won't bring back your muse and vavoom but it sure feels good. Deb M January 14, 2026 at 5:16 PM Brother Jerry….you know l smiled a big smile when l saw your name in my comments. It made my day…..I have missed your presence on P.S and your salt of the earth, honesty and real writings!! I hope to be back again regularly very soon. Life gets in the way of Poetry sometimes and that muse of mine is temperamental ha!! Thanks for hanging in there with me my friend…..Sister Deb x Curse…who me? Never!!!

Terry Flood January 13, 2026 at 4:53 PM Deb, I feel your pain, I’ve been there, again and again. Write some gibberish, Look at some album titles. Just write anything until ‘that one line’ inspires you. Whatever happens, I’m delighted to see you posting. Keep on scribing ;-) Terry Deb M January 14, 2026 at 5:10 PM Oh my lovely funny friend….l know you have struggled at times also with your muse taking off ….so you know the frustrations!

Daniel Henry Rodgers January 12, 2026 at 11:22 AM Dear Deb, this was such a fun and relatable read. Oh, that feeling of being abandoned by inspiration with a light, witty touch that still carries a real emotional truth. The playful voice made me smile. Really enjoyed this one. Winter Blessings, Deb, Daniel Deb M January 14, 2026 at 5:01 PM Oh thankyou Daniel….happy to make you smile! Debx
