Whenever My Muse Calls

Whenever my muse calls The words will always speak. My pen will always flow No matter where I am. A pad I always keep. I write parked in my car, Or in the grocery store. No matter where I am My pen calls out my name. I write until my brain is sore. Sometimes a word or two, Or a completed verse. Ideas flow puzzle-like For me to fit the pieces. Could this be a curse or not? Maddening at sometimes, The creativity side of me. Mumbling to myself. People will always stare, As I look back glassy-eyed My muse will not be ignored And my pen will always flow.

Love it, this is how I used to be when the ideas were flowing more naturally to me! Now I have to come here to get inspired by contest themes!!

Andrea, oh believe me, if it wasn't for these contest I would be sitting on empty. But when I get inspired by one of these, words will pop-up at the darnedest time so I must either write it down or memorize it. But with this old mind it usually disappears before I can grasp on to it tightly. Warm Smiles, Connie

I know how you feel, unfortunately I don't carry around a pad with me all the time(sometimes I do), but I do repeat the lines I came up with over and over in my head until that is all I can think of...the poem in my head! This way I can get to a place and write it down before I forget! Of course I do get strange looks from people as I'm trying to do things while memorizing my verses in my head! I will not forget them, no way, I can't do that, I know where you are coming from! Great Work!!
