The Fallen Muse

It was obvious, his muse fell
His mind was a muddled mess
Killed or wounded, he couldn't tell
The emptiness caused him much stress

In the interim, he searches
For a topic that seems just right
An Epiphany that lurches
To light his dark poetic night!

Worn out by this torturing test
Unable to escape this trap
He resorts to what he doe's best
He eats a bit and takes a nap!

You must know me, Pat. Exactly my solution to the problem. (Some solution, eh?!) Enjoyed this one. Like looking in the mirror. :) Cheers, Gershon
