The World Turns, My Muse Learns

Friday afternoon, the day winds down
  My Muse, exhausted, limps around
Her brain, 'most fried, her vitality shot
  "I'm out of ink," she moans. "And I'm not---

"Not to worry, my friend," I console her
  "Sabbath draws near, so we'll both defer
 to the Lord above, Who on this day did rest
   to return to work after ~ completely refreshed

Smooth but, will one sabbath do? After what we've all been through these past few months...I think we might need several days to wind down. Enjoyed this well penned piece.

Great job here Gershon. Love it. I have found that the best way to write is NOT to TRY to write but to wait for it and let it come to you. God Bless, JB

You know, Judy, I don't want to wait that long, i.e., until it comes to me... so I just hold my breath 'til a poem comes along. No wonder my writes make people (turn) blue! Thank you so much! :) gw

Yup. I think when we kick back, we refresh, regain perspective, and sometimes find new avenues of expression. Thanks, Andrea. Cheers, Gershon

Ha, ha! My Muse plays Hide-and-Seek with me! Good thing I'm an ex-teacher with at least three sets of eyes to spot him! Thanks, John. Beat wishes, Gershon

No Muse?! -- That would be a not-so-amusing development, I guess. Here's to your Muse, Jennifer! :) gw
