Salvaging Remains of Muse

“My muse died at 2 a.m. she hadn't been well in weeks, writing drab, soulless poetry without alluring alliteration, any references to the Greeks. Too pooped to savor the flavors of a good, old fashioned write, she chose in her frustration, to abandon her life station, to just give up the fight.” So left to draw from memories of her great creative essence, I’ll paste together bits and pieces, of her wondrous masterpieces to salvage her quintessence.

I have also been in a creative drought lately - this piece flows with grace (also love the line about no reference to the Greeks!)

I know it will end eventually, but I can't hardly wait to get it back. Thanks.

After a while, I always wonder if it's coming back yet, know that eventually it will. Thanks.
