Excellent. Running out of ink can be quite a dilemma, S-1! ~ Regards // paul

So sad... trying to imagine a way out, a way to send ink... alas. Just thoughts no words yet on paper my friend. Prayers instead, more powerful. Your pen is fine, and sharp like a stiletto knife always... perfectly edged. Many favs for me...Happy Decade to you. God Bless. Ann

A message penned with deep thought and the skill of your pen. Muses do disappear now and then maybe your muse took a festive break? Blessings, Jennifer.

Amen! Excellent muse, SO. I feel you on that blank block Epiphany Lane closure. Next level poets must always have their Dream Access Muse Road open during eyes-closed time. And as you adroitly know, Silence is Golden if you have the non-verbal communication skills to cross any poetic muse barrier line. Cool One liner poem, dear friend. Love and best wishes for the holidays.

The pen is never dry, nor thoughts lost. Sometimes, the muse goes on vacation. I think. :) Mine likes to hide in the clouds. If I tickle her, she might come out to play. I never rush her though. She doesn't like that. Words will always find you. :) Brandy

Ooh! I can just see the final drip of dehydration but the thirsty will refill the inkwell! The evasive muse cannot hold back for long. Merry Christmas!

Silent, a wonderful example for your contest. All poets have known the horror of that silent pen and that endless blank but I find by ignoring MUSE for a bit, he comes crawling back to me ~
