My Visiting Muse

Quote By Poet "I never know when my muse will come for a visit." My muse can be very fickle at times, there are days I need to kick it out of bed. Why should it sleep in if I can't, seems unfair to me. As I sit with hot coffee in hand, thinking~thinking. My muse is starting to awake from it's sleep, I wonder what we will write today. I start to write in one direction, then my muse says stop~no. Do you know what it is like, like to argue with your muse. In the end we both agree on a poem, one meant for you and for me. I love my muse, and my muse loves me. Date Written: 1/1/2023

I never know what Trixie will do, but I stay back, because she is fearless so I related to this line "I wonder what we will write today."

Paula, You are mischievous. Your muse too is equally mischievous. I assume, you play 'hide and seek' game, but the bond between you and your muse is strong. ... I am sure.

I am not clear who a muse is. For me, it’s not my reason for not being able to pen.i only wrestle with my own self. Muses to me are specific grown children of their Father Zeus in Greece. A mentor in the flesh,Ido have.we never argue. He knows this path of poetry verty well. Do I sound weird? Probably. ))) Panagiota

Writer's block can be very irritating. One trick is to write phrases that come into one's mind. Maybe you might achieve something.
