My muse has just vanished have you seen her? She’s so darn fickle one minute she’s active and a torrent of words flow then turns moody and won’t conform, retreating into herself, she sulks like a temperamental teenager Writing Challenge 2- April 2019- Its All About 10 - Poetry Contest Sponsored by Dear Heart 4/25/19

If this is result of your missing muse, maybe you should wish her away altogether! LOL. Many congrats on your fine first-place finish in the '10' challenge, Jan! :) gw

This is great, Jan. One of the best writes I've seen about the muse. Good luck in the contest.

Alas, Jan, we often must refer to "The Little Prince" for directions on "how to tame a fox".

Your muse will never abandon you, dear. Never fear. Glad to read you again. Sending lots of hugs. :)

I have captured her, kidnapped her, and she is helping my muse get over a sore throat and a bad cough. We will deliver her safely to you after we are completely well, and we have stolen all of your newest, cutest ideas, especially if they involve bodily functions. Ha! Good luck in the contest, my friend.
